Telangana MP Kavitha assures arrest of ABVP workers on Owaisi plea

Daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, Kavitha Kalvakuntla on 16 August assured arrest of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarathi Parishad (ABVP) workers for allegedly assaulting a college principal.

Retorting to a tweet of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi demanding arrest ABVP workers, Kavitha informed the former that the saffron workers were detained. She also averred that a case has been registered against the alleged attackers.

Owaisi has demanded a probe against the alleged attackers questioning the administration work.

Owaisi later on thanked Kalvakuntla for taking cognizance of his plea.

Earlier on Independence Day, a number of ABVP workers assaulted a college Principal in Telangana's Nizamabad district for wearing shoes while hoisting the national flag on Independence Day.

Aggravated by the incident, Owaisi asserted that a number of BJP leaders were wearing shoes while hoisting the National flag, while adding added that the principal was targeted primarily because he is a Muslim.
