K Karuna Sagar, a practising advocate has filed police complaint against AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, for the latter’s statement that he would provide legal aid to terror suspects arrested by NIA.

However, Saroor Nagar Police Station Inspector S Lingaiah said, “We have received the complaint against the Hyderabad MP. No case has been registered and we are seeking legal advice."

In the complaint, Mr Sagar alleged that, “the stand of Asaduddin Owaisi and his remarks is boosting the morale of anti-nationals and giving oxygen to terrorists. (Asaduddin) Owaisi is directly or indirectly helping the ISIS which had come up with a video in which it threatened to target India and this is betrayal of the country”.

"The revelations of the arrested accused to carry out terror attacks on police stations, religious places, prominent persons from right-wing organisations is shocking," he claimed.

"The conspiracy has been foiled. But, Asaduddin Owaisi talks of providing legal aid to five ISIS suspects arrested by the NIA amounts to treason, promotes terrorism and further the remarks of (Asaduddin) Owaisi has boosted the morale of anti-nationals," Mr Sagar further alleged.

Earlier on Friday, Owaisi had said that his party would provide legal support to the youths, NIA arrested suspecting them to be linked with ISIS terror module, but asserted his party does not support terrorism.
