The special sessions court for MP and MLAs at Nampally metropolitan courts in Hyderabad on Wednesday acquitted AIMIM controversial leader Akbaruddin Owaisi in decade-old hate speech cases and directed him not to make any controversial speeches in future, keeping in view the national integrity.

A court in Hyderabad has ruled that when Akbaruddin Owaisi, the brother of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, had said that he kill a crore Hindus in 15 minutes, it was not a hate speech, and acquitted him in two cases of hate speech filed against him.

Owaisi had made the inflammatory and inciteful speech against Hindus in 2012. In his speech, he was seen taking many jibes at Hindu Gods and Goddesses while making an open challenge to Hindus for their survival if the police is to be removed for 15 minutes.

He also claimed that he will see how Narendra Modi becomes the Prime Minister one day.

A special court in Hyderabad’s Nampally was hearing the two cases filed against Owaisi for delivering hate speeches against Hindus in 2012 and 2019. He was charged in Nirmal and in Nizamabad in 2012 under the IPC for criminal conspiracy and promoting enmity between two groups based on religion.

Following his acquittal, AIMIM leader and brother Asaduddin Owaisi said that he was grateful for the public support in the case. “Alhamdulilah Akbaruddin Owaisi has been acquitted by MP/MLA Special Court in two criminal cases against him for alleged hate speeches. Grateful to all for their prayers & support. Special thanks to Advocate Abdul Azeem sb and senior lawyers who provided their valuable assistance”, he tweeted.

“Many of such Modis came and went. Today people are saying Narendra Modi has won Gujarat, and that he will become Prime Minister of the country one day, even we will see how that happens. And people are scaring Muslims saying Modi is here. Modi who? Where did he come from? Dare to come to Hyderabad for one time and we will show you,” he said in his address.

“Taslima Nasreen came and now no one knows where she is. Dear Hindustan, we are 25 crores and you all are 100 crores, right? Fine. You are far ahead of us in numbers. Remove the police for 15 minutes and we will see who is more powerful.”

Owaisi junior’s remarks were received amidst thunderous applause and cheering from the audience which was gathered in large numbers. “Remove the Police for 15 minutes! Be it a thousand, a lakh, or even one crore impotent(Hindus), even if they try collectively, they will not be able to give birth to a single one.”

“These people are not able to see us face to face. When the Muslim becomes weak, only then these impotent (Hindus) arrive,” Owaisi remarked in his hateful incitement against Hindus.

In the same speech, Owaisi insinuated against Rama and his mother Devi Kausalya while making an argument against the Ram Janmabhoomi case. “There are three temples in Ayodhya that claim that Ram was born there. And in Haryana’s Kausalyapuram people claim the same citing the Indian practice of women giving birth to the first child in their maternal houses. In Kausalyapuram, people believe that Kausalya, the mother of Rama and wife of King Dashratha hailed from here, and thus Rama too was born here itself.

“While three pujaris claim three different birthplaces for Rama, then Advani, Vajpayee, Uma Bharati, and Modi should tell us where did mother of Rama go to give birth to him?” Owaisi asked wittingly.

The incited audience was seen cheering with unprecedented excitement after the Hinduphobic and misogynistic remark of Owaisi. The chants of “Akbaruddin Owaisi Zindabad” were given after the same. These people talk about incidents which happened 1lakh, 2 lakh or 15lakh years ago. Here we don’t know what happened 200-400 years back and these people talk about 18 lakh years!”

Owaisi in his snide remarks against Hindu Gods said, “They use to say that after every hundred kilometers, the language changes, the culture changes, the way of life and customs change, rituals also change however it is ridiculous that here images of Gods also transform!”

He had also abused the Hindu deities and blatantly mocked Hindus for worshipping them. “Hindus have so many Gods and every eight days new Gods are coming up. We knew Lakshmi, but we don’t know who is Bhagyalakshmi”, he had said referring to the Bhagyalakshmi temple near Charminar.

Taking a jibe at India’s Prime Minister, he had compared PM Modi to terrorist Ajmal Kasab and had said that he should be hanged to death. He had instigated the Muslim crowd in Nirmal and had said that if all the Muslims from all over the country unite, then this country will be ruled by a Muslim and then the death of PM Modi would be confirmed.

Further in 2019, he blatantly repeated his ’15 minutes’ threat and challenged the RSS and the Bajrang Dal. “No person from RSS or Bajrang Dal can even touch our hair and remember, remember, the world tries to scare the person who gets scared. And the world fears the person who knows how to instill fear why do they hate Akbaruddin Owaisi? Why? A single blow of a blacksmith is equal to a hundred blows of a goldsmith. They (RSS) haven’t yet recovered from the ’15 minute’ blow,” Akbaruddin Owaisi had stated.

It is pertinent to note that a total of 41 witnesses were examined in the Nizamabad case while 33 people were examined in the Nirmal case. Owaisi was also arrested and subsequently released on bail. The CID investigated the Nizamabad case and filed the charge sheet in 2016, while the district police which probed the Nirmal case also submitted the charge sheet in the same year.
