The remark on Puri Srimandir by All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has stirred up a hornet’s nest in Odisha.
The members of the Puri-based socio-cultural outfit burnt the poster of Owaisi after hitting it with brooms and describing him a big liar. Earlier, Priyadarshan Patnaik, the convenor of the outfit, had lodged a complaint with Singhadwar police station seeking Owaisi’s arrest for making such an incendiary statement. The members of the outfit had burnt the poster of the AIMIM MP.
Police should take legal action against him as his statement has hurt the sentiment of Jagannath devotees, the outfit has demanded.
