The electioneering for the GHMC polls has reached a feverish pitch. The BJP and the MIM are locked in a serious political debate on the issue of MLA Akbaruddin comments on the PV and NTR Ghats in Hussain Sagar lake area. The debate slipped out of proportions with almost all political parties passing their comments in their own ways. Finally, it all boiled down to the rhetoric around religious feelings and inflammatory speeches.
Sandwiched between the BJP and the MIM, the ruling TRS found a safe passage out of this heated debate. The police in Hyderabad took suo motu notice of the BJP and the MIM comments a few days after they were made. The police now filed cases against BJP Telangana President Bandi Sanjay and also Akbaruddin Owaisi.
The cases were booked against these leaders for making such speeches to inflame religious and communal feelings among the voters. The cases were registered at the SR Nagar police station under Section 505. The police noted in the FIR that the speeches were in the nature of provoking communal clashes.
Bandi Sanjay said that Rohingya terrorists infiltrated in the Old City and a surgical strike would be launched on them. Akbaruddin said that the Government should remove PV and NTR Ghats if it really wanted to remove illegal structures from Hussain Sagar.

Bihar police are all set to arrest All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi for making an inflammatory speech while campaigning in Bihar. A case has been registered against the Chandrayana Gutta MLA from Hyderabad, for a speech he made at an election rally in Kishan Ganj at Kochadhaman Police Station in Kisanganj district. Kisanganj Superintendent of Police Rajiv Ranjan has issued the arrest warrant against him. Akbaruddin had addressed an election rally at Sontha Haat under Kochadhaman Assembly constituency on Sunday. The FIR was lodged for violation of provisions of section 144 of Crpc and under sections 153 A and 188 of IPC.
Section 153A deals with promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony, while section 188 deals with disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant. Akbaruddin is the younger brother of AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asauddin Owaisi. Commenting on the arrest warrant against his brother Asauddin told reporters in Hyderabad that the matter will be legally pursued. “The legal team of our party is trying to get the certified copy of FIR and it depends upon them. They will take necessary steps accordingly…,” he said.
Akbaruddin, a fourth-term MLA from Hyderabad, had allegedly used objectionable language against all MPs in Parliament. He also allegedly made provocative remarks against BJP leaders.
Ksishanganj police are also investigating the case from the angle that if the speech of Akbaruddin had any bearing on the damage of idols at two temples in the town which led to the tension on Sunday.
