MIM not to pursue politics of
murder, says Asaduddin Owaisi

Hyderabad: Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) will not pursue the politics of
murder to avenge the assassination attempt on its leader
Akbaruddin Owaisi, but wants a probe into the attack, says party
president and older brother Asaduddin Owaisi.
The MP was addressing a massive public meeting organised by the
party at the First Lancer neighbourhood here Saturday night to
condemn the April 30 attack.
"MIM never believed in the politics of murder. We don't want to
turn Hyderabad into another Rayalaseema," he said referring to the
bloody faction war in Rayalaseema region.
He, however, said the party would give a fitting reply if the
rivals resorted to another physical attack on the leadership. "If
they do it again, no graveyard in the city will accept their
bodies for burial," he warned.
Thanking people for their prayers, which, he said, gave new life
to his younger brother, Asaduddin called upon people to socially
boycott elements which are committing murders and repression.
Alleging a deeprooted conspiracy behind the attack to eliminate
the strong Muslim leadership in Hyderabad, he said Akbaruddin, the
MIM legislature party leader, has been at the forefront of raising
his voice against injustice and repression.
The MP targeted editors of two Urdu dailies saying they were
morally responsible for the attack. He said MIM exercised
restraint even when the two newspapers published insulting
cartoons of the leaders.
He claimed he has all the details of who hatched the conspiracy of
the attack, how many meetings were held and who attended them.
Akbaruddin was stabbed and shot at in the attack by a group of 10
to 15 assailants April 30 when he was visiting his Chandrayangutta
assembly constituency. The young leader was discharged from
hospital Friday. Asaduddin said he would undergo another surgery
after six weeks.
MIM, which has been dominating Hyderabad politics for four
decades, has seven legislators in the Andhra Pradesh assembly.
