On Saturday, Akbaruddin Owaisi, an MLA from All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), took the oath as Protem Speaker of the newly-elected Telangana State Legislative Assembly. The oath ceremony, administered by Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan at Raj Bhavan, was attended by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and the previous Assembly Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy.
