Those Who Shot At Me Same As Gandhi's Killers, Says Asaduddin Owaisi

Referring to the Centre's decision to provide him Z category security cover, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said he will not take Z security adding that if the poor get protection, it will be his security.

Days after the attack on AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, the Lok Sabha MP said on Saturday that those who fired bullets on his vehicle were the ones who killed Mahatma Gandhi.

The AIMIM chief held a poll campaign in the Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday for his party.

Addressing a public meeting at Baghpat's Chhaprauli, Mr Owaisi said, "My car was attacked, fired four shots. Those who fired bullets (on his vehicle) were the ones who killed Gandhi. I talk about the rights of the people, hence the bullet was fired. I talk about the stake (of Muslims), so the shot was fired. When I talk within the ambit of the Constitution, the evildoers cannot tolerate it. These idiots think that their bullets will silence my voice. If one Owaisi dies, I bequeath you to produce lakhs of Owaisi."

Referring to the Centre's decision to provide him Z category security cover, he said he will not take Z security adding that if the poor get protection, it will be his security.
