Owaisi Raises Alarm Over Communal Incidents in Telangana, Demands FIR and Probe
Hyderabad: AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi expressed deep concern on Saturday regarding the escalating number of communal incidents across Telangana. He specifically called for the immediate registration of a First Information Report (FIR) and a thorough investigation into the recent violence that erupted in Banswada.
Questions Over Mobilization and Alleged Targeting
In a detailed post on the social media platform X, Owaisi raised critical questions about the organization behind the unrest. "How could such a large crowd be mobilized within just a few hours?" he questioned, pointing to numerous videos circulating online that he claims clearly document the criminal activities of what he described as a 'right-wing mob'.
Owaisi made serious allegations that activists specifically singled out and attacked small shops and street vendors owned by members of the minority community during the violence. He further stated that one individual, who was already in police custody at the time, was allegedly assaulted by local 'Sangh Parivar goons'.
AIMIM's Response and Relief Efforts
The Hyderabad MP revealed that he is in direct contact with Sayeed Khan, the AIMIM general secretary for Kamareddy district. He has instructed Khan to compile and submit a comprehensive report detailing the extent of the damage, with particular focus on losses suffered by Muslim-owned businesses.
Demanding swift government action, Owaisi insisted that the state administration must provide full compensation to all those whose properties were damaged or destroyed. He assured that his party, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, is committed to assisting the victims in every possible manner and will work to provide relief at the earliest opportunity.
Controversy Over Mosque Demolition in Sadasivpet
Shifting focus to another contentious issue, Owaisi addressed the recent demolition of the Masjid-e-Moulana in Sadasivpet by local revenue authorities. He disclosed that he has directed the party's MLA from Karwan, Kausar Mohiuddin, and the district president, Sheikh Ghouse, to engage with local officials. He confirmed that they are currently in a meeting to discuss the matter.
Owaisi presented the account of the landowner, Mohd Kaleem, alleging that Kaleem purchased the plot from an individual named Raju and has been in possession for the past two years. During this time, he had even dug a borewell on the property but reportedly faced continuous harassment from anti-social elements from the outset.
The AIMIM leader challenged the authorities' justification for the demolition, which was reportedly based on the land being classified as 'inam land' (grant land). "Why was action taken only after a shed was constructed on the land? What were the authorities doing for the past two years?" Owaisi questioned, implying a selective and delayed enforcement of regulations.
Owaisi's statements underscore growing tensions and highlight demands for accountability and justice in the wake of these incidents in Telangana.
