AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi gets threats on Twitter

​Hyderabad: Following threat messages being received by MIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi allegedly from ‘anti-India’ Kashmiri accounts on social media, his party’s social media handlers have lodged a complaint with Cyber Crime police and Twitter India.

Syed Kashaf, who handles party’s social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter, informed that just like the slain journalist Shujaat Bukhari received threats before his murder, Asaduddin Owaisi was also receiving threats on social media in recent days on his account ‘asadowaisi’. “He is getting such nonsense from @_projectkashmir@shoukatnanda@im_kashour@npOwernajeeb@kashurgovbalai,” he alleged.

Kashaf asked the Twitter India to verify whether these accounts were fake or based in Pakistan, Kashmir or India. “AIMIM President is getting threats from Anti-India Kashmiri accounts on social media. The same accounts had threatened #ShujatBukhari on June 8. I have lodged a complaint with cybercrime & Twitter India,” he informed.

It may be mentioned here that on June 15, Asaduddin strongly criticised the report of United Nations on human rights on Kashmir and held that the international body does not have right to ‘interfere’ in India’s sovereignty.

In his address at Jalsa-e-Youm-ul-Quran on the eve of Eid on Friday, while blaming Union government for its ‘diplomatic failure’ over this, he asked the UN to not to interfere in the internal matters of the country.

While defending democratic credentials of India, he asserted that human rights commission and judiciary in the country were there to answer these problems. He affirmed that in spite of political and ideological differences with the Prime Minister, this was the occasion to stand united for the matters of sovereignty as country came first.
