Prez urged to debar Asaduddin from LS

TS BJP chief Kishan Reddy slams Owaisi for making provocative statements

Hyderabad: Telangana State BJP president G Kishan Reddy on Tuesday appealed to President Pranab Mukherjee to advise the Lok Sabha Speaker to annul membership of AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi for desecrating the Indian Constitution by his irresponsible utterances over conferment of Bharat Ratna on former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and Padma Vibhushan on L K Advani.

In a letter to the President, the Telangana BJP chief has stated Asaduddin Owaisi’s irresponsible statements are highly provocative and obnoxious. “It is unfortunate that an MP of Lok Sabha so blatantly attempts to desecrate the Constitution. His criticism after the President conferred Bharat Ratna on Vajpayeeji and Padma Vibhushan on LK Advaniji tantamounts to lampooning of the highest Constitutional authority of the nation.

His comments warrant immediate action and he should be expelled from the Lok Sabha and his membership annulled. Kishan Reddy pointed out that Vajpayee has been the beloved leader of the country and his contribution to the development of the nation, his patriotism, his conviction and duty towards the people of India is unflinching. Political parties and people across the spectrum of life transcending all barriers revere him for his statesmanship.

Similarly Advani’s contribution during his 60 years of public life is self evident. Both L K Advani and Atal Behari Vajpayee do not need a certificate from a hate-monger like Asaduddin Owaisi, who believes in communal politics and who has been perpetuating the policies of his mentor Khasim Razvi, who was responsible for horrendous massacre of innocent people during the Nizam period in Telangana State. Very recently, he supported terrorists like Viquaruddin, who mercilessly killed innocent people, he said.
