In Hyderabad, AIMIM chief and MP Asaduddin Owaisi expressed his hope that the ‘enemies of India’s diversity’ would be defeated this time, indirectly referring to the ruling BJP. On Independence Day, he greeted citizens and wished for God’s blessings of peace and prosperity for the nation. He tweeted his best wishes and mentioned that he had hoisted flags at various locations in the City. Asad visited localities with a sizable Muslim population and rode a Triumph bike while hoisting flags in their areas.
He started at Aqsa Hotel in Bholakpur (Musheerabad) and then went to Warisguda. He also hoisted flags at AG Colony-Erragadda, Sriram Nagar X Roads-Rahmathnagar, Gulshan Colony near Qutub Shahi Tombs, and in the Old City at the traditional spot of Madina Circle, near Charminar, and at MadarsaJamiatulMominath, Mughalpura. His brother, Akbaruddin Owaisi, who is the party floor leader in the Assembly, unfurled the flag at the Fatima Owaisi KG to PG campus in Bandlaguda. Additionally, party joint secretary S A Hussain Anwar hoisted the tricolour at the party headquarters, Darussalam.
