Asaduddin Owaisi surprised many people by boarding a two-wheeler to meet the Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao The security officials at the CM’s camp office-cum-official residence were taken by surprise ahead of the 2018 assembly elections. “Let them kill me if they want, but I will roam around without security,” Owaisi reportedly said after fresh firing on his car in UP. Despite receiving threatening calls from various quarters, Owaisi has never used the security given to him since he contested and won the election as an MLA in 1994.
“Every time the state government provided him security as per intelligence reports to prevent a threat against him, Owaisi refused. He trusts people and prefers to be one of them without any protection. I have never seen him using the protective cover,” said an MIM leader.
However, if the MP needs help, he has a team to follow him on a bike.
Owaisi refuses to take security cover after attack on his brother and Chandrayangutta MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi in 2011. Before the attack, Akbaruddin also roamed without security. However, after the attack, he was given a bullet proof car and security was beefed up, which he has accepted.
