All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday claimed that “unknown miscreants” vandalised his Delhi residence with black ink, and questioned Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Speaker Om Birla whether the safety of MPs would be guaranteed.
The MP also said that this is not the first time he has been a victim of such an attack.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Owaisi said, “Some ‘unknown miscreants’ attacked my house today with black ink. Now I have lost count how many times my Delhi house has been targeted.”
“When I asked Delhi Police officials how all this was happening under their nose, they expressed their helplessness. Amit Shah all this is happening under your watch. Ombir Kota, please tell us whether the safety of the MPs will be guaranteed or not.”
Owaisi described the miscreants who targeted his house as ‘two-penny goons’ and said that he is not scared of them.
He said, “Stop behaving like Savarkar and muster courage to face me. Don’t run away after throwing ink or stones.”
‘RSS did not oppose Emergency’
Earlier today, Owaisi had attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre over the Emergency imposed by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975, saying Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders did not oppose it but wanted the ban on the organisation to be lifted.
The RSS is the ideological parent of the BJP.
In a post on X, Owaisi again targeted Savarkar and said: “Speaking of #Emergency, what was the Sangh Parivar doing? Following the great tradition of Savarkar’s mercy petitions, the RSS was keen to please Indira Gandhi. RSS leaders did not protest, they just wanted the ban on RSS to be lifted.”
During the Emergency, the then government had banned the RSS.
