mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">As the controversy
surrounding the murders of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his
brother Ashraf Ahmed rages on, Hyderabad MP and AIMIM president Asaduddin
Owaisi has lambasted people "celebrating" the crime and referred to
them as "vultures."
color:#0A0A0A">The MP labelled the crime a "cold-blooded murder" in a
statement to the media.
color:#0A0A0A">"The BJP government in Uttar Pradesh has a hand in
this." A committee should be constituted and an investigation should be
conducted under the supervision of the Supreme Court. The committee should not
include any officers from Uttar Pradesh. This was a 'cold-blooded' murder,
according to Owaisi.

Muslim MP to be "murdered without impunity."

Atiq Ahmed represented the Phulpur Lok Sabha constituency.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">Ehsan Jaffry served in

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">"How did they
(the killers) get those weapons?" he continued. Why were they shouting
religious slogans after they had killed them? What else should you name them if
not terrorists? Will you refer to them as Patriots? Vultures are applauding
this incident..."
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">He stated that the
incident raises serious concerns about the state of law and order.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">The AIMIM head
questioned whether the public will have faith in the country's constitution and
law and order following this tragedy.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">"I have always
said that the BJP in Uttar Pradesh is running the government by the rule of
gun, not the rule of law," he remarked.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">Owaisi also requested
the resignation of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">"I demand the
resignation of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, as well as the
formation of a team to investigate this matter by the Supreme Court."
"We also demand that all police officers present be removed from
service," he stated.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">"Atiq and his
brother were detained by police." He was restrained by handcuffs. JSR (Jai
Shri Ram) chants were also heard. Both were murdered as a result of Yogi's law
and order system failing. Those who are celebrating encounter raj are also
culpable for this murder, according to Owaisi.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#0A0A0A">Atiq Ahmed and his
brother, Ashraf Ahmed, were assassinated on Saturday while being taken for a
medical check in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, only days after their son Asad was
killed in an encounter in Jhansi.
