Hyderabad Parliamentary Assaddin Owaisi criticized the abuse of the Act on the prevention of illegal activities (UAPA) in the background of eight men who were accused of connecting with the forbidden clothing of students of the Islamic India movement.
Mr. Owaisi, who interacts with the media throughout India, Majlis-E-Ithadul Muslimeen Party in Darussalaam, remembered that when the government of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) changed the law, it opposed it in parliament. He remembered the warning of the government that the law would disproportionately influence Muslims and Dalits.
“Eighteen years later the court liberated them. Their youth was stolen. Who will answer that?” he asked.
Panaisi, who drew a parallel with recent political development, referred to the leader of the Rahula Gandhi Congress on the data of voters, which he described as the vote of Chori (theft of votes). “They say Chori, Chori. But what about these men whose lives have been taken in the name of justice?” he asked.
Referring to the recent order of the Supreme Court for Wandering Dogs, which caused the debate, Mr. Owaisi questioned the silence around those who remain trapped under the UAP provisions.
“I do not understand how those who spent six years in prison without bail were ignored,” he said.
Mr. Owaisi explained that he respects the judiciary, but also expressed serious concerns that some of the subordinates served the sentences prescribed according to the sections of the laws that were against them.
The Hyderabad Member also criticized the Independence Day of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the second time when Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) appreciated. Mr. Owaisi accused the organization of playing no role in the fight for freedom and called his literature undesirable. In 1941, in 1941, he made a specific reference to Shyama Prasada Mokerjee, the leader of the RSS, who served as a minister in the Bengal cabinet under the Fazl-HAQ.
Mr. Owaisi criticized the narrative around the club and claimed that the voting rights of Muslims at that time were seriously limited. “As soon as 2% or 3% of Muslims had the right to vote. They were elite who had the right to vote, which was conditional,” he said, adding that the vast majority of Muslims could not vote.
Owaisi, who touched the political climate in Bihar, said his party leaders are already active on the country who work on the upcoming public opinion surveys, including the bodies of local authorities, and then on elections to the assembly. He said there would be a campaign in this state soon.
