AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi faces court appearance for raising pro-Palestine slogan in Parliament, violating Constitution.
A local Court has directed AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi to appear before it over a plea that claimed he had violated the Constitution by raising a slogan hailing Palestine in Parliament.
Lawyer Virendra Gupta filed a petition against Mr. Owaisi over the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader voicing support for Palestine during his oath-taking ceremony in Parliament.
Mr. Gupta said in his plea that the five-time MP had violated constitutional and legal beliefs.
He told reporters on Tuesday (December 24, 2024) that a petition was filed in the MP/MLA court on July 12 but it was rejected.
Mr. Gupta then filed a revision petition in the Court of the District Judge.
District Judge Sudhir allowed the petition and issued a notice to Mr. Owaisi on Saturday (Dec. 21), asking him to appear before the Court on January 7.
Mr. Gupta said he was hurt by Mr. Owaisi’s slogan.
