Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday “appealed” to Lok Sabha member and AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi to accept the security cover provided by the Centre after he was attacked on his way back to Delhi from Uttar Pradesh last week.
Making a statement in the Rajya Sabha on the February 3 incident, Mr. Shah said the government had decided to extend security cover to Mr. Owaisi based on threat perception. After a review of threat perception, the government had decided to provide him ‘Z’ category security in the whole country with a bulletproof car in Delhi. The Home Minister said Mr. Owaisi had refused to accept the security and urged him to accept the same to address “our worries”.
