All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief and Hyderabad Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi complained that he was receiving death threats after meeting the family members of late gangster-politician Mukhtar Ansari earlier this week. He urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to monitor the threatening social media posts against him.
In a video posted on X, Owaisi addressed the "evil forces" threatening him. At the same time, he asserted that he is "not going to go away so easily".
"I'm not some child of a chicken. I
won't go away so easily. I won't turn my back, even if your father comes, I will fight him," Owaisi said in a video, addressing the "evil forces" trying to harm him.
Later, speaking to reporters, Owaisi said that the atmosphere created in the country is giving the "evil forces" strength to say such things. "We will live as long as it is destined and no one is here to live forever... Those who are openly making such threats, we hope that the Election Commission monitors that and sees."
