Owaisi Urges The Public To Prevail In Peace In Hyderabad.

Suspended BJP MLA Raja Singh's remarks on Prophet Mohammed have created a tense situation in Hyderabad; protests erupted in some parts of the city that went on till Wednesday afternoon.

AIMIM (All India Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen) president Asaduddin Owaisi came forward and appealed to the public to ensure peace in the city on Friday. In a video message, the AIMIM leader said it is the collective responsibility of all to ensure peace is maintained after Friday prayers.

“I appeal to the public not to take out any rally or hold a protest. As you all know, the BJP leader (Raja Singh) is arrested, and first time in the history of Telangana, the police have invoked PD Act against a legislator,” he said. Owaisi appealed to the public to attend prayers at mosques near their houses and asked the family elders to see their children don’t indulge in any form of protest.

The Hyderabad MP further said the BJP wants to disturb peace and harmony in the city. “Already the BJP spoke about the surgical attack on Hyderabad; now they are trying to disturb the peace for their gains,” he said. Owaisi added that peace and nonviolence would defeat BJP while violence and communal disturbance will strengthen the party.
