'Akbar Owaisi Hate Speeches As Per Plan': Police

Did Majlis MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi in Hyderabad make those hate speeches to whip up communal hatred as per a plan? Police have no doubt. They say it was all done as per a plan.

The police expressed this view in the counter it filed in the state high court. Additional DIG Vinay Kumar charged that Akbar laid the seeds for a scheme to whip up communal disharmony at his party’s meetings at Nizamabad and Nirmal on December 8 and 23. He said the speeches were part of a criminal conspiracy. 

The DIG gave a full text of Akbar’s speeches to the court. He also charged that Akbar was denying that he made those speeches, to cover up his controversial comments. Stating that the speech CDs were sent to the Forensic Lab in Chandigarh, the DIG said a report from the lab was awaited. He appealed to the court to dismiss the petition of Akbaruddin to club all the cases filed against him at different places. The court posted further hearing of the case to Tuesday.
