Taking a swipe at the centre amid violent protests against the new military recruitment plan 'Agnipath', Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi asked how many protesters' homes will be razed by bulldozers now.
Mr Owaisi, who leads the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), made the remark against the backdrop of the action against those accused of engineering protests over suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma's remarks on Prophet Muhammad last month.
"They (youngsters) are on the streets due to (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi's wrong decision. How many (protesters') homes will be razed by bulldozers? We don't want you to demolish anyone's home," he said.
Mr Owaisi quoted a senior police officer of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, saying that the protesters are like children and need to be counselled.
