All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MP Asaduddin Owaisi alleged on Thursday that some “unknown miscreants” vandalized his Delhi residence with black ink.
The AIMIM MP shared this claim on his X handle, stating, “Some ‘unknown miscreants’ vandalized my house with black ink today. I have now lost count of the number of times my Delhi residence has been targeted.”
Owaisi further claimed that when he inquired about the incident, the Delhi Police expressed their helplessness. “When I asked @DelhiPolice officials how this was happening right under their nose, they expressed helplessness.”
He addressed Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Speaker of Lok Sabha Om Birla, questioning the safety of MPs. “@AmitShah this is happening under your oversight. @ombirlakota, please tell us if MPs’ safety will be guaranteed or not.”
In his post, Owaisi described the attack as “Savarkar-type cowardly behavior” and challenged the perpetrators. “To the two-bit goons who keep targeting my house: this does not scare me. Stop this Savarkar-type cowardly behavior and be men enough to face me. Do not scurry away after throwing some ink or pelting a few stones.”

Earlier on Thursday, Asaduddin Owaisi criticized the central government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders did not resist the Emergency but wanted the ban on the organization to be lifted. The RSS is the ideological parent of the BJP.
In a post on ‘X’, Owaisi wrote, “Speaking of emergency, what was the Sangh Parivar up to? Following the great tradition of Savarkar’s mercy petitions, RSS was eager to please Indira Gandhi. RSS leaders did not resist; they just wanted the ban on RSS to be lifted.”
The 21-month-long period of Emergency, imposed by the then Congress government led by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975, has been spotlighted again as this year marks its 50th anniversary. The Emergency is considered one of the most controversial periods in India’s political history. The RSS was banned during this period.
Earlier today, President Droupadi Murmu addressed a joint sitting of Parliament, criticizing the imposition of the Emergency. “Emergency was the biggest and darkest chapter of the direct attack on the Constitution. The entire country plunged into chaos during the Emergency, but the nation was victorious against such unconstitutional powers,” she said.
The President’s remarks have triggered reactions from leaders of the INDIA bloc.
