AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi will soon be issued a notice for making alleged communal statements in his speech at a public meeting of PDM Nyay Morcha in Varanasi on April 25.  Kashi region BJP legal cell convenor Shashank Shekhar Tripathi had complained to the Election Commission, alleging that AIMIM chief Owaisi delivered communal statements during a public meeting in Varanasi.

The notice will be issued by an additional returning officer on behalf of the district election officer. Confirming that such a complaint was received, Additional Returning Officer Sub-Divisional Magistrate Neeraj Patel said on Sunday that after the initial probe, a notice was being issued to Owaisi. In the meeting last Thursday, Owaisi alleged Mukhtar Ansari was killed in judicial custody. He was a "martyr and such people never die".
