KURNOOL: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi stoked a controversy in Adoni when he referred to sitting MLA Y. Sai Prasad Reddy as “chaprasi”, accusing him of being behind the demolition of a 250-year-old Eidgah. He called upon Muslims of Adoni to trounce Reddy in the next general elections and elect an MIM MLA to protect monuments of minorities in the region.
Owaisi was obviously hurt when his meeting scheduled on Friday at Adoni was not allowed due to a bandh. He went on to charge that Muslim properties in the town are being encroached upon. Even a government-sanctioned ITI college has not been made operational. The vegetable market near Eidgah had been converted into a parking lot. “MIM cannot remain a silent spectator over such happenings”, the MP remarked.
He maintained that Muslims have got disillusioned with the YSRC government after its activists have started targeting Muslim properties, not sparing even burial grounds.
