Komatireddy calls Asaduddin Owaisi a 'big thief' after MIM workers seek clarity on CAA

NALGONDA: Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has accused AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi of stealing public money after AIMIM party workers stopped Komatireddy and demanded the Congress Government's stand on the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

In a video that went viral on Wednesday, Komatireddy was seen stepping into his car when AIMIM activists stopped him to question about the Telangana Government's stand on the implementation of the CAA. So far, West Bengal, Kerala and Tamil Nadu Governments have stated that CAA wouldn't be implemented in their respective States.

When Komatireddy said that the Congress was not in a position to answer questions posed by the AIMIM, the angry party workers raised 'Komatireddy down down' slogans. The cadre were then detained by the police.

Angered by the sudden protests, Komatireddy asked the activists to ask how Asaduddin Owaisi acquired Rs 1 lakh crore worth assets.

"Asaduddin Owaisi should distribute money to poor Muslim people from his Rs 1 lakh crore worth assets. He is a big thief. It was Komatireddy Venkat Reddy who helped poor Muslims and not Asaduddin Owaisi. If you want you all if you go and ask him," the Minister claimed.
