MIM: #Sena objects to #MIM chief’s visit

Pune:
The Shiv Sena has raised objections to the scheduled visit of MP Asaduddin Owaisi to Pune, saying it may create law and order problems if he makes controversial statements.Owaisi, president of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, will be attending a public function organized by various organizations on the reservation issue at Golibar Maidan in cantonment on February 4.

Former MLA Vinayak Nimhan on Saturday handed over a memorandum to the city police commissioner Satish Mathur in this regard.

The Sena has threatened to disrupt the function if Owaisi makes any controversial statement. Senior inspector Bapu Kale incharge of the Wanowrie police station told TOI that activist Azhar Tamboli has filed a plea on Friday seeking police permission for the function.

"The issue of granting or refusing permission to high profile dignitaries like Owaisi will be decided by senior police officials," he said.
