"Emboldened By Government": Asaduddin Owaisi On Vandalism At Home

Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday said the incident of vandalism at his official residence in Delhi was the fourth such incident which showed the people responsible were "emboldened by our government".

"The first attack happened in 2015 when Rajnath Singh was my neighbour. There was one home between his house and mine. These Hindutva ideology people barged into my house," he told NDTV in an interview.

"This is the fourth incident. These people are emboldened by our government. This time they came with axe and threw stones inside my home. I have written a complaint to Parliament Street Police Station," Mr Owaisi said.

"Two years ago, Delhi Police's Special Cell people came and met me. I told them to stop this nonsense. You have a right to protest, go to Jantar Mantar. But coming over to my home, blackening my name plate, throwing stones, uttering all nonsense slogans," he said.
