UP Lawyer Wants to Press Charges Under 16 Counts Against Owaisi
Anil Kumar Bakshi, member of the Uttar Pradesh Bar Council, approached a local court seeking registration of a police case against All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi for his alleged remarks on the youths held by NIA saying it amounted to treason and promoted terrorism.
The remark from Owaisi that his party will provide legal aid to five youths arrested by National Investigation Agency (NIA) amounts to treason. Owaisi's remark also shows that he is supporting terrorism.Anil Kumar Bakshi, Petitioner
Owaisi on Friday said his party would provide legal help to the youth arrested by the NIA on charges of involvement in an alleged ISIS terror module. He also asserted that his party does not support terrorism.
