AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday appealed to the electorate to remember when voting the viral video purportedly showing BJP candidate for Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat Kompella Madhavi Latha pretending to be shooting an arrow near a place of worship.
Mr. Owaisi, AIMIM’s candidate for the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat, filed his nomination on Friday at the Hyderabad District Collectorate. Later, at the first public meeting of the party’s Lok Sabha constituency campaign, he stressed the importance of increasing polling percentages.
“You are now seeing that the BJP candidate, aiming at a place of worship, a masjid, indicated [that] an arrow would be shot towards it. Will you [public] still not vote?” Mr. Owaisi asked. “If you have empathy and pain for that place of worship, ...come out to vote for the sake of the sanctity of that place [of worship].”
