Owaisi hits out at Karnataka govt after a ban on his meeting
Synopsis
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi has been banned by the Karnataka government to enter the state and address a public gathering.
Owaisi was scheduled to address a public meeting in Vijaypur district on June 1. According to a Times of India report, Vijaypur's district magistrate and deputy commissioner D Randeep served a notice at the party headquarters in Darussalaam.
The government order prohibited Owaisi from speaking at the meeting at Afzalpur Takiya for a period of seven days starting from June 1.
Alleging that this was a move to stop the party from growing in Vijaypura, Owaisi told Deccan Chronicle that “I will abide by the order, though the contents of the notice that my visit will create law and order problems are completely baseless."
The MP also took to Twitter to express his views on the notice.
