Hyderabad: A shutdown
is being observed in parts of Adialabad and Nizamabad districts in
Andhra Pradesh Wednesday on a call given by the MIM against the
arrest of its leader Akbaruddin Owaisi.
Shops and businesses in some towns including Adilabad and Nirmal
were shut, witnesses and officials said.
The MIM legislator was taken to Nirmal town Tuesday night after he
was arrested here for a hate speech. He was then shifted to the
district jail in Adilabad town.
Police have tightened security in both districts in the north
Telangana region bordering Maharashtra. Prohibitory orders banning
the assembly of five or more people were imposed in all the towns
in the two districts.
A police officer said additional police forces were deployed to
maintain law and order. As a precaution, police arrested some
leaders of MIM.
Akbar was booked in both Nirmal and Nizamabad for allegedly
delivering venomous speeches during public meetings in the two
towns.
MIM has not called for a shutdown in Hyderabad, its stronghold,
but authorities are not taking any chances. Security was beefed up
in all the sensitive areas, especially in the Old City.
The communally sensitive Old City has been tense since Tuesday
evening. Police and paramilitary forces were deployed around the
historic Charminar and interior areas which witnessed communal
clashes in November.
MIM chief and MP Asaduddin Owaisi has urged people to remain
peaceful. He described the arrest of his younger brother as a
conspiracy by the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Asad Owaisi said he had full faith in the judiciary. In a
statement carried by Urdu daily 'Etemaad' which is published by
MIM, he hoped that justice would be done in Akbar's case.
