'Healthy' Akbaruddin Owaisi back from UK, complains of 'pain', 'soft' cops shun arrest

PTI

Posted: Jan 08, 2013 at 0909 hrs IST
While cops arrest common people without pretext, they have refused to do so in Owaisi case.

Hyderabad Andhra Pradesh MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi, facing multiple cases for alleged hate speech, will be subjected to medical examination by government doctors as he failed to appear before the police for questioning today citing ill health and as such avoid being arrested despite the serious nature of the case.

The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) legislator, booked at three police stations in Andhra Pradesh, arrived here from London early today and filed an application before Nirmal police in Adilabad district through his counsel, seeking four days' time to appear before them on health grounds.

Owaisi looked fit to face questioning, IG (Warangal Range) A B Vekateshwar Rao told reporters, quoting Investigating Officer of Nirmal (Rural) police station A Raghu who visited Owaisi's residence here.

However, Owaisi complained of "internal pain" and hence the IO will subject him to medical examination by government doctors, he said.

Cops' colleagues in Delhi and Mumbai, it may be remembered, showed no such hesitation in cracking down on protesters in the Delhi gangrape case and in arresting 'Facebook girls' for posting innocuous 'anti-Bal Thackeray' missives that could not be considered, even remotely, to be related to any hate speech. The dichotomy in treating powerful politicians is blatant in Owaisi's case.

Owaisi, however, was eventually taken to a government hospital here today for medical examination.

A police escort team reached the MLA's house at Banjara Hills and took him to the Gandhi Hospital here, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West Zone) G Sudhir Babu said.

Earlier, this morning the Nirmal rural police at Adilabad district issued a notice to Akbaruddin to make himself present for the medical examination.

"In view of his medical examination police issued a notice to him to come to the Gandhi Hospital where government doctors will carry out his medical examination. Once the medical test is complete, a certificate will be issued and based on it further course of action will be taken," another senior police officer said.

For security reasons, a police escort accompanied him.

Akbaruddin has already been issued notices to appear before Nizamabad Police today and also before the Osmania University Police on January 10 in connection with the further probe into the cases registered against him.

Owaisi has approached the Andhra Pradesh High Court seeking to quash all the FIRs registered against him at different police stations in the state.

Nothing new by sanjay vikram on 08 Jan 2013

This is nothing new...we have two classes in India Rulers and commoners.... and therefore law will be different for rulers and commoners. This is the reality in the present India...police will fall in their feet not to displease ppl like raj thakery and owaisi and will put people like me behind the bars right away. Filing and FIR is a lottery here....

Akbaruddin Owaisi by Mdas on 08 Jan 2013

Letting this man go scot free should be protested s more intensely than that of Delhi rape case one as such ill minded men lead all to suffering and destruction. This case should not be allowed to fool people and constitution of India; if it, it will be a stepping stone for other disaster makers to indulge in ..

There should not be selective actions ! by Naim Naqvi on 08 Jan 2013

What was the meaning of Miyan when this word was used by Narendra Modi recently? All speeches which spread hate and create distance between communities and religions should be dealt strictly according to Indian Constitution. Take action against Parveen Togadia and Thackrey Clan also. Why so much ado about Owaisi only? Selective actions always bring dissatisfaction and smell victimization. Law should be equal for everyone. Let us define HATE first.

Anti nationals by Utham on 08 Jan 2013

True let us define "Hate"first. When people like Owaisi talk against our nation, his heart is in Pakistan, when Togadia, Thackery, & Modi say something it is for the good of our country and against anti nationals like you and your Owaisi.

Comparable?...really by Zaid on 08 Jan 2013

Togadia Thackeray spoke against muslim people. They never insulted muslim god Allah or Prophet or made fun of religion. If Hindus are minority intolerant why they dont persecute Sikhs Buddhists and jains?

No need of selective action by Ajith on 08 Jan 2013

Naqviji, are you condeming or condoning Mr Owaisi's statement. All means any person, esp. if he is occupying a high post like CM in the case of Mr Modior MLA in the case of Mr Owaisi, cannot escape scrutiny of law. I really don't think anything will happen to Mr Owaisi. All of this will be forgotten in a day or two. Only we common people will be shouting our hearts out condemning this. Yeh he India. Sab kuch chalta hai.

don't support anti nationals by indian on 08 Jan 2013

He was questioned the national sovereignty by asking to give 15 minutes to kill 100 crore Hindus with the help of 25 crore his team mates. He was also uttered so many words which was not tolerated by his community if anybody utters similar words against his community. This speech is difference any other speeches of his or anybody else. Please realize. Otherwise your cutting the branch where you are sitting.

There are no selective actions by shruthi on 08 Jan 2013

Dude, why are you being so hot tempered? No 'challenged' like Owaisi did, that is sickening. And all others are not a member of legislative assembly. He is a part of the govt. That is why the issue. Abt Narendra Modi, please visit Gujrat once. BJP guys went to each and every muslim house in Guj possible for asking votes, but congress spokes persons did not even bother to call them and Digvijay Singh says BJP bought all the muslim votes. So, are muslim votes there for sale? Check Gujarat muslims , hear them out. Then probably you will know abt Modi! And the MLA ,Owaisi ,who is running away from India like this when cases were dodged against him,will kill the majority ?!! What a joke!!

Disgusting by Sam on 08 Jan 2013

''Another shameful incident under this spineless government. They don't even have the courage to confront and arrest a person so randomly spreading hatred and negativism. He should have been treated like a hardcore criminal but really what can you expect from the govt. who took years to eliminate a proven terrorist like Kasab. Absolutely weak, disgusting and shameful.

IRRESPONSIBLE COMMENTS FROM MLA by Rajnikanth on 08 Jan 2013

how can a responsible person like Mr Akbaruddin owaisi talk against a Religion.We being such educated should respect all the religions equally. Strong action should be taken against the culprit. 4tv channel should also be banned,telecasting the same progrmme again and again they are playing with hindu religious sentiments.we hindus respect all religions but we cannot be quite if anyone talks against our religion.

Exactly by shruthi on 08 Jan 2013

True. Exactly my point. The disturbing phenomena is such ppl as this Owaisi , go scot free and Hyderabad is already in tension. Hope that no innocent lives are scarred for life :(

WHAT A DRAMA!KIRAN TERA!! by N.ASTI on 08 Jan 2013

This is a mere drama getting played by A.P.state Govt at the behest of CORRUPT UPA Govt directed by so-called(PSEUDO)Mr Clean and produced by Sonia under the banner of Congress-Film-industries with Owaisi as an actor.ALL INVOLVED IN THIS DRAMA ARE RAZAAKARS. Owaisi is given time to strike the deal in all manners and once the selfish deal is struck,this hate-monger will come out and hailed by MMS/Sonia led Congress as a true patriot.No wonder MMS,Sonia may go with Kiran to greet Owaisi when he comes out in full colors from an Indian Court.They will say they have full trust in Indian judiciary!India is a land of fools and corrupt looteraas fool deserving public to rule for looting the country.What can be expected when the Govt is full of COMMUNALS & SCAMSTERS and most of the Media-Houses are mortgaged at Congress-doors in SO-CALLED DEMOCRACY!!RAZAAKAARS(From Delhi & Hyderabad)!HAVE THIS SHAMELESS DANCE!!

offensive content policy by TSINGH on 08 Jan 2013

Where is Kapil Sibel, Why did not he make any attempt to take down the hatred speech from various digital platforms. Isn't it come under the offensive category, oh no it isn't , because it gives political mileage to congress & bjp .. Mr Sibel was very prompt to gag digital media when Abhishek Manu Singvi's sex video published on the same digital platforms.

Good V/S Bad hate speech by abdul on 08 Jan 2013

Hate speeches by every leader/person, be he/she from Kashmir to Kanyakumari OR from Gujrat to Manipur.....must be booked to justice. There is no "OK hate speech" or "bad hate speech" or as someone may say "good hate speech".

Status of police by BS on 08 Jan 2013

In India police behave like eunuchs when come to taking action against politicians.

KERALA WILL SHOW A MORE BAD SCENE ! by ANIYAN on 08 Jan 2013

SUCH OWAISIS ARE COMING UP AT MANY PARTS OF INDIA, UNFORTUNATELY WITH THE TACIT SUPPORT OF INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS. THE SITUATION IN KERALA IS FAR MORE SERIOUS THAN THESE OWAISI KINGDOM. CONGRESS ALLOWED MUSLIM LEAGUE PARTY TO TAKE OVER A COMPLETE DISTRICT AND ALLOWED THEM TO FIELD AT ALL THE PLACES THEIR OWN CANDIDATE WITH MALAPPURAM BEING THE ONLY DISTRICT IN INDIA TO HAVE ALL MUSLIM MLAs. NOT FINISHED THERE.. WITH THE STRENGTH OF 18 MLAS, WITH NO VOTES IN MORE THAN 90 CONSTITUENCIES OF THE 142 SEATS, THEY FORCED CONGRESS TO GIVE THEM FIVE MINISTERS TO RULE KERALA, BASED ON NUMBERS, AS THEY ARE ALMOST HALF IN STRENGTH OF CONGRESS. HAD CONGRESS KEPT A NATIONAL OUTLOOK, IT WOULD NEVER HAVE ALLOWED A COMMUNAL PARTY TO DOMINATE A DISTRICT. ULTIMATELY, WHAT ARE THE RESULTS. TOTAL GREEN REVOLUTION IN KERALA'S EDUCATION SECTORS. IN CERTAIN SCHOOLS TEACHERS ARE ASKED TO COME IN GREEN UNIFORM. NOT LONG BACK, THEY REPLACED THE NATIONAL FLAG IN KOZHIKODE WITH THEIR PARTY FLAG. BAD SITUATION!!

The police and the judiciary is spineless by Krish on 08 Jan 2013

This is nothing but vote bank politics. Indian muslims enjoy equal rights, equal opportunity and everything else what is rightful for a citizen of India. Yet this guy says everything against the very country which gives him the rights. Hindus have no rights in their own country or in any of the 22 Arab countries. That is the truth. Congress has no shame in making the judiciary a big mockery. Not even God can save this country.

Where are secularists and muslim liberals? by Vinny on 08 Jan 2013

Isn't this an attack on our secularism? We have seen people coming out on TV studios and debating forever if BJP leaders had said something. Of all, where are muslim liberals? Havent seen any one opposing such venom. They come out on drop of hat if something is said against their religion.

hate speach by Akbarddin by trsubramanian on 08 Jan 2013

it is high time that these people are put behind bars irrespective of the person's political position.there can not be two laws ,one for the people and one for the political persons. health reason quoted by him is only to delay the action. first let him be arrested and then go for treatment [ he appears to be with good, sound health].let these people not fool the people of the land.

OWAISI AND ABDUL NASSER MADANI - SAME PROFILE by ANIYAN on 08 Jan 2013

HE IS A PHOTO COPY OF ABDUL NASSAR MADANI FROM KERALA, WHO WAS INVOLVED IN COIMBATORE BOMB BLAST AND RELEASED SUBSEQUENTLY ON COURT ORDERS AND NOW IN BANGALORE JAIL TO HAVE ORGANIZED THE BANGALORE BLASTS. HE STARTED WITH THE HATE SPEECH AND SUBSEQUENTLY SPREAD HATES EVERY WHERE. THE SOONER ACTION IS TAKEN, THE BETTER IT IS.

Weak Congress Govt. by Rajesh on 08 Jan 2013

Congress govt. has proved to be spineless and its CM has no courage to take any action to protect the secular fabric of the state. Rather he shuns his responsibility by disowning the control over the police. They want to control and actually control police for everything but such issues. Wake up Kiran Kumar and ask police to put Owaisi behind bar for ever.

When it comes to an MLA, police go soft on them by Umesh on 08 Jan 2013

Had this guy a commonman of India, he would have been picked up from the ICU, aint it? But when it comes to a politician, whether Raj Thkrey or any other politician, the police go soft on them. It is the police of this country who are main culprit of the failure of law and order. They do only one thing sicerely throughout the country, to extort money from the commonman on some or other pretext...

Akbar Bhai Zindabad by kasif on 08 Jan 2013

I have watched this video in youtube, his speech is not so hatred or provocative as what togadia , varun & bhgwa terrorist member gives every alternate day

Yeah , right!!! by Tamara on 08 Jan 2013

yeah , right...his speech was laden with love for non-Muslims.... No where at any point in time , the right wing brigade has insulted islam , or their prophet or asked Hindus to kill Muslims.... And this is exactly what this Owaisi goon has done

Akbaruddin Owaisi Hate Speech by Ravi Kumar on 08 Jan 2013

Its obvious he is awaiting the decision of the High Courts for his bail - also reflects the poor quality of Muslim leaders - Indian Express headlines sensationalizing this matter is deeply regretted !
