Amit Shah asks Owaisi to accept Z category security

Shah made his remarks in the Parliament just days after Owaisi's car was attacked.

"I have received a full report on the incident of attack on Asaduddin Owaisi from the state government," Shah said in his statement in the Parliament.

Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday rejected Z category security offered to him following an attack on his car last night, and urged PM Narendra Modi-led government to make the country safer for him and others.

Owaisi, whose car was attacked in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday, questioned in the lower House who were the people who believed in bullets and not ballots.

"Different political parties are there in different states but who are these people who believe in bullets not ballots? Who are these people who have been so radicalized that they don't believe in this Constitution. Who are these people? I will not make a political comment, I will leave it to you," he said.

"I am two-time MLA, four time MP, if this is how politics will progress, that car stops at toll gate and bullets are fired. I want to ask how did these youth get so radicalised?" he said.

Not Z security, but safe nation is my demand: Asaduddin Owaisi

Two people have been arrested for firing at the car of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief, while he was returning to Delhi after campaigning in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut on Thursday.
