Taking a sharp dig at Asadduddin Owaisi, BJP's Madhavi Latha called the four-time Hyderabad MP a “friend of people from ISIS" and mocked him for his claim of receiving death threats.
“Who is giving him (Asaduddin Owaisi) death threats?...Look at the level of his friendships. He is friends with people from ISIS, the kings' group. He says that he has a stronghold here and then says that he is receiving death threats," the news agency quoted ANI as saying.
The attack from the BJP's Hyderabad candidate has come after All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi alleged that he received threat calls after he visited late Mukhtar Ansari's family in UP.
On Friday, Owaisi claimed on social media and even appealed to monitor the alleged threat calls he received after the meeting. Owaisi had visited gangster-politician Mukhtar Ansari's family after he died due to cardiac arrest at a hospital in UP's Banda on March 28.
While appealing to ECI monitoring of the threat, Owaisi said the “atmosphere created in the country" is giving people to say such things.
“The atmosphere created in the country is giving them strength to say such things. We will live as long as it is destined and no one is here to live forever. We appeal to ECI to monitor the situation," Owaisi was quoted by ANI as saying.
