The city police have once again denied permission to the All-India Majli-e Ittehadul Muslimeen[ AIMIM ]to hold a public meeting supposed to be addressed by its President Asaduddin Owaisi ,scheduled on tuesday.
Though the police denied permission citing that his visit may lead to law and order issue,the AIMIM objected stating that it would go ahead with the meeting since the party is contesting the BBMP elections.AIMIM representative Ahmed Bin Abdullah Balala said that denying permission amounts to infringement of freedom of expression and the right of a political party to carry on its legitimate activities.
The party would challenge the denial before the court of law and with the Karnataka State Election Commission,he said.
The AIMIM charged the ruling Congress Government for allegedly misusing the powers and using police machinery to scuttle the public meeting and entry of Mr Owaisi .The government has done it thrice since February 2015 as it afraid of its fate in the BBMP polls,an official release from the party charged.
The party is fielding its Candidates in the BBMP Elections and reiterated that it would organise election campaigns .Additional Commissioner of Police [East] P Harishekaran said permission was denied based on an intelligence report that Mr Owaisi's visit could disturb peace in the society .
'The party will challenge the denial in court and with the SEC'
