Pro-Daesh twitter handle suspended after Owaisi threat

 The Twitter handle used to issue a threat to Hyderabad member of Parliament and President of Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), Asaduddin Owaisi, was suspended on Friday.

The handle @abotalout had threatened the MP not to speak against the terrorist organisation Daesh on Thursday evoking a sharp reaction from the MIM leader.

Unruffled by Daesh over Twitter, the Hyderabad MP has refused to bring any change in his routine of moving around unguarded.

The lanky 47-year-old London-trained barrister is known for his refusal to accept any government security and prefers to move in a self-driven sport utility vehicle. “I am not afraid of such threats. It is my faith that life and death is in the hands of God. I will live as long God wills [it],” he said.

Police has apparently approached him many times to provide 24-hour security in view of the changing threat perception in recent years, but Owaisi has been steadfast in avoiding any such cover.

Reacting to the threats made from a Twitter handle, Owaisi said that he will continue to speak against the “evil force” Daesh.
