Budget Session: Assaduddin Owaisi Rejects Z Security, Wants UAPA Against Shooters
New Delhi, Feb 4: All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Assaduddin Owaisi on Friday rejected the Z category security offered by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
Taking the floor of the Lower House, Owaisi said, “I don’t fear death. I don’t want Z category security, I reject it; make me an ‘A’ category citizen. I’ll not remain silent. Please do justice…charge them (shooters) with UAPA…appeal govt to end hate, radicalization.”
A day after shots were fired at the vehicle of Lok Sabha MP and AIMIM Chief Assaduddin Owaisi in western Uttar Pradesh, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has accorded him Z category security of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
Owaisi’s security detail will entail six-eight armed commandoes while travelling apart from security at his residence, sources said.
