Akbaruddin Owaisi Rally to be Held in March.

Maharashtra:

AIMIM has postponed its rally until next month after the police asked the party to conduct their Saturday's public meeting, which was to be addressed by its leader Akbaruddin Owaisi, indoors.

"We don't want to have any confrontation with the police. Hence we have opted to hold the meeting in the first week of March. If we had insisted on going ahead with our demand for permission to hold meeting in the open, it would have unnecessarily created tension," said

MIM legislator Waris Pathan. After some Sainiks protested against his Pune rally recently, Owaisi had challenged the Sena to stop him from holding the Mumbai meet. Owaisi was to address a rally at Nagpada junction on Saturday, the same venue from where he had kicked off the Assembly poll campaign last year. The party had issued ads in Urdu dailies announcing a "grand welcome" to Owaisi.
