Meanwhile, in the same context, AIMIM supporters staged a protest in Hyderabad's Charminar area condemning the attack on the Hyderabad MP. A large number of security was deployed in the region to keep the protesting crowd in control. The protests are a result of an attack on Owaisi's vehicle in Uttar Pradesh.
On Thursday, shots were fired upon Owaisi's car at Hapur toll plaza after he was returning from a campaign in Meerut ahead of polls in Uttar Pradesh.
