'Is it an offence to remember how cops treated Muslims in UP': Asaduddin Owaisi clarifies

Asaduddin Owaisi in a speech in Kanpur lashed out at an 'anti-Muslim' event in Haridwar organised by Yati Narsinghanand. Owaisi has now clarified that an edited clip of his speech is being circulated online to imply that he tried to incite violence.

All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday said that a clipped video of his speech against alleged provocative and communal statements made against minority communities during a three-day "Dharma Sansad" or religious assembly held in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar is being widely circulated. In order to distract from #HaridwarGenocidalMeet, a clipped 1 min video is being circulated from 45 min speech I gave in Kanpur. I’ll set the record straight:1. I did not incite violence or give threats. I talked about POLICE ATROCITIES Here’s the full video in TWO PARTS [Cont] pic.twitter.com/buZWZmVNLa

“A clipped 1-min video is being circulated from a 45 min speech I gave in Kanpur,” he said. He also shared the entire video of his speech on Twitter.
