AIMIM के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष की गाड़ी पर गोली चलने की खबर बेहद दु:खद एवं निंदनीय है।
घटना के जिम्मेदारों पर कठोर कार्रवाई हो।
In a tweet, the party stated, “Violence of any kind should have no place in a democracy. The news of firing on the vehicle of the National President of AIMIM is very sad and condemnable.”
It added, “Strict action should be taken against those responsible for the incident.”
Bhim Army Chief also condmned the act and expressed sympathies for Owaisi.
"In a state, where the CM openly incites the crowd from the stage, what more can one expect from his blind devotees there? The attack on the National President @asadowaisi of AIMIM exposes the poor system of governance. Our sympathies are with Owaisi ji," he tweeted in Hindi.
जिस प्रदेश में सीएम मंच से खुलेआम धमकी देकर भीड़ को उकसा रहे हों. वहां उनके अंध भक्तों से इससे ज्यादा और क्या उम्मीद की जा सकती है? AIMIM के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष @asadowaisi जी पर हमला शासन-प्रशासन की लचर व्यवस्था की पोल खोलता है। हमारी संवेदनाएं ओवैसी जी के साथ है।

Entrepreneur Tehseen Poonawalla questioned if UP is a "jungle raaj" where MPs can get shot and attackers can escape.

Glad #AsaduddinOwaisi is safe, but is UP a jungle raaj that an MP can be "shot" & the attackers can escape?
Or was the administration helping the "attackers"? And if yes - why?
Who gains with this " attack"? https://t.co/r6NoZK77xI pic.twitter.com/Z1LGcywLVn
