Owaisi was speaking at a public meeting in Hyderabad on Saturday.
Visuals of police officials in various states engaging with the protestors have been going viral. In Hapur, police officials distributed sweets to the anti-Agnipath protestors. Owaisi also cited a senior police official in Varanasi who referred to the protestors as “his children”.
“Whose children are we? We are also this country’s children,” Owaisi said.
“In Allahabad, Afreen Fatima’s house was demolished, why did you demolish her house? Because her father organised a protest. Principles of natural justice are the basic structure of the Constitution. Who will decide? The court will decide. The court will do justice and the court will not punish his wife and children,” he added.
Owaisi also took a swipe at BJP’s suspended party spokesperson Nupur Sharmaby saying that the party is actually safeguarding her.
“BJP is protecting Nupur Sharma. I am urging the BJP and PM to take action. But the PM doesn’t say anything. AIMIM had lodged a complaint and an FIR has been registered. I also wanted to ask the CP and CM of this state to send police to Delhi and bring Mohatarama (Sister Nupur Sharma).”
The Hyderabad MP called for Sharma’s arrest.
“Nupur Sharma should be arrested and action should be taken against her according to the law of India. We want action as per Constitution. I know that Nupur Sharma will be made big leader in the coming six-seven months. It is also possible that Nupur Sharma will be made the Delhi CM candidate,” he said.
