Union home minister Rajnath Singh will seek a report from governor E.S.L.
Union home minister Rajnath Singh will seek a report from governor E.S.L. Narasimhan on AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi extending legal support to suspected ISIS terrorists caught by the National Investigation Agency in Hyderabad and his comments on the issue.
Mr Singh assured a Telangana BJP delegation, led by state BJP chief G. Kishan Reddy and others, when they met him in New Delhi on Saturday, that the Centre will take action if Mr Owaisi is found guilty.
The delegation had sought the arrest of Mr Owaisi and cancellation of his Lok Sabha membership for aiding and abetting terrorists.
Mr Owaisi, however, justified his offer of legal aid to the arrested ISIS suspects stating that the Central government, too, had done it in the case of the Pakistani terrorist caught in Mumbai.
“We will soon launch a ‘save Hyderabad’ campaign to protect the historic city from terrorists and their abettors. What is the Telangana state government’s stand on Asaduddin Owaisi’s statement Will the government support Mr Owaisi’s statement defending legal aid to suspected terrorists,” Mr Kishan Reddy asked.
