Shots were fired at AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi's car on February 3, when he was returning from Uttar Pradesh to Delhi. Two persons were arrested and their weapons were also seized.
Hours after Union Home Minister Amit Shah appealed to AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi to accept Z category security after firing on his car recently, he said he remained firm on not taking it.
"Amit Shah appealed today for me to take back Z security. Owaisi will be safe once the Dalits, the downtrodden and the minorities of this country are safe," Asaduddin Owaisi told reporters.
This morning, Amit Shah said a government assessment has found that Mr Owaisi still faces a security threat, but he had been informed that the Hyderabad MP has refused to take CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) cover.
''Through the House, I would like to request Owaisi ji to accept the security to address our concerns about his safety," the Home Minister said.
