**Mumbai, India** – The Maharashtra Police has once again issued a notice to All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi ahead of a scheduled rally in Malegaon. This is not the first time Owaisi has received such a notice, prompting the AIMIM to accuse the police of political targeting and selective enforcement.
The party questioned the repeated issuance of notices to Owaisi while seemingly overlooking similar speeches from leaders of other parties. AIMIM alleges this is a deliberate attempt to stifle their growing popularity. They insist that the law should apply equally to all, regardless of political affiliation. While the police cite potential law and order concerns as justification for the notices, the AIMIM argues that Owaisi’s speeches, often addressing minority rights, are being unfairly scrutinized.
A similar incident occurred during election campaigning in Solapur, where police served Owaisi with a notice on stage during a rally. The notice was issued under Section 168 of the Indian Penal Code. The AIMIM maintains that Owaisi’s speeches, though often emotionally charged and controversial, do not warrant the repeated issuance of these notices. The party demands equal treatment under the law for all political leaders.
