Akbaruddin Owaisi, the politician from
Andhra Pradesh whose hate speeches
have landed him in a series of court
cases, will be examined by doctors at a
government hospital, said sources.
Mr Owaisi,who flew into Hyderabad from
London today, was meant to appear
before the police upon his return but
sought exemption for four days, citing
medical issues.
The police has said it will base its decision
on the advice of government doctors. He
has been accused by the police of waging
war against the state and promoting
communal hatred.
Mr Owaisi, a state legislator from the
Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), has
been recorded on camera delivering
inflammatory speeches as he toured
Andhra Pradesh in December. A speech in
the Nirmal town of Adilabad has been
viewed more than 80,000 times on
YouTube. He also faces police cases for
another speech he made in Nizamabad on
December 8.
His brother, Asaduddin Owaisi, is a
Member of Parliament.
Since the MIM ended its alliance with the
ruling Congress in Andhra Pradesh in
Novenber last year, Mr Owaisi and other
leaders have been aggressively asserting
their religious identity.
