MIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi’s wife and children met him at the Adilabad district jail on Friday afternoon. Local MIM leaders accompanie­d them.

According to jail authoritie­s, Akbar’s wife Sabina, daughter Fathima and son Nooroddin met him.

Meanwhile, Nirmal munsif court first class magistrate K. Ajesh gave permission to the police to record the voice of Akbaruddin Owaisi before February 5.

The magistrate posted the judgement on the petition filed by the police seeking orders for the police custody of Azimbin-Yahya and also taking his specimen signature for January 19.

Nizamabad police would shift Akbaruddin Owaisi to Nizamabad from Adilabad jail in the wee hours to produce him before the munsif court in Nizamabad on January 19. The police obtained a PT warrant from the magistrate in a case filed regarding the hate speech in II Town police station in Nizamabad.

Dr K. Ashok of RIMS conducted the medical check-up on Akbaruddin in the afternoon. Dr Ashok said he treated Akbar for urinary infection as advised by the nephrologi­st of Osmania General Hospital. Dr Ashok said that Akbar had no indigestio­n now. Jail officials provided a special room, mattress and bed as advised by doctors.

However, MIM alleged that orders regarding Akbar’s special category status were not sent to the Adilabad district jail. Coming soon after MIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi’s hate talk, opposition Muslim leaders from Warangal have reacted sharply to MIM Charminar legislator Ahmed Pasha Qadri’s controvers­ial remark about Gandhiji during a programme at an Urdu school in Karimnagar on Thursday.

Terming the speech allegedly questionin­g the presence of Mahatma Gandhi’s statue before the Assembly as ‘offensive’, Telangana Rashtriya Lok Dal (TRLD) state working president Mohd Riyaz criticised Pasha Qadri.

“He (Mr Pasha Qadri) is still under the impression that he is under Nizam’s rule. Such comments are indirectly helping antisecula­r forces to regroup,” said Mohd Riyaz, while terming MIM a ‘ communal party’.
