UP Muslims need an unbiased leader: Owaisi

Hyderabad: MIM chief and Lok Sabha member Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday alleged that Muslims were being neglected and threatened in Uttar Pradesh.  

Only a Muslim leader can represent their issues, express their plight and deal with certain political parties, who have been trying to create tension that can lead to communal disharmony , he said while interacting with the media here. 

“An open call for genocide against Muslims has been given in Haridwar. It is high time someone, including those from secular political parties, stands for Muslims,” Asad said while demanding that all those speaking ill of the community should be banned for their provocative remarks.

He said that AIMIM had conducted several meetings in Uttar Pradesh and he had personally met the locals, who were looking for a leader who can bring them relief.
