AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government over the alleged attempt to attack the Chief Justice of India (CJI). Asaduddin Owaisi, on behalf of lawyer Rakesh Kishore, has accused the government of being biased on the basis of religion in this case regarding the attack on CJI BR Gavai and is not taking strict action against the accused.

Asaduddin Owaisi, Lok Sabha MP from Hyderabad, said, ‘If his (lawyer who tried to throw the shoe) name was not Rakesh Kishore and it was Asad, what would the police have done? People of the Bharatiya Janata Party would say, ‘Pick him up!’, ‘He has come from the neighboring country’, ‘He is from the Pakistani intelligence department ISI’. He would then be attacked from all sides.

Police and government accused of adopting double standards

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi gave this statement while addressing a gathering. Which he has also shared with his X handle. Owaisi has accused the Delhi Police and the Central Government of adopting a double standard on the basis of religious identity in the case of the alleged attack on lawyer Rakesh Kishore. Along with this, he compared this incident with the recent incident in Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh.

He said, ‘When the Muslim community had protested against the removal of I Love Mohammed banners, the UP Police had taken immediate action, whereas this did not happen in the case of Rakesh Kishore. Rakesh Kishore, while mentioning Bareilly in the list of his complaints against the CJI, had said that CJI BR Gavai and the Supreme Court should not have commented against the bulldozer justice policy of Yogi Adityanath.

Owaisi made a direct attack on Prime Minister Modi

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi directly attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding this incident. He said, ‘Tell me Modi ji, are your government and your policies not responsible for this? These are the same people to whom your government has given power. He said, ‘It is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Central Government that have filled the hearts of such people with poison.’

Owaisi said, ‘Even today that Rakesh Kishore says that he does not care about anything. Prime Minister, Delhi Police comes under you and you just give a statement that this is very wrong. He stressed, ‘Even though CJI BR Gavai himself has decided not to register any case, the Prime Minister should have taken suo motu legal action, mere condemnation should not have sufficed.’
