Asaduddin Owaisi questions, if merely discussing faith at home is a crime then punish any officer participating in public religious celebration

AIMIM chief and Hyderabad Lok Sabha member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi said that the video has been taken out of context and is from a time when this government wasn’t even in power.

Uttar Pradesh govt set up an SIT to ‘investigate’ a 6 year old video of senior IAS Iftekhar sb. The video has been taken out of context & is from a time when this govt wasn’t even in



power. 

In a tweet on Wednesday, he said “This is blatant targeted harassment based on religion. If the parameter is that no officer should be connected to religious activity then prohibit use of all religious symbols/images in offices.”

Furthermore, he questioned if merely discussing faith at home is a crime then punish any officer participating in public religious celebration.
