Agenda AajTak 2024:
AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi attended the 'Meri Awaz Suno' event. With Delhi's legislative assembly elections on the horizon, the political atmosphere is heating up. Owaisi intends to field his candidates and has announced a ticket for Tahir Hussain, accused of a murder during the Delhi riots. When questioned about this decision, Owaisi maintained that Hussain is only an accused but not yet proven guilty.
Addressing questions about granting Tahir Hussain a candidacy, Owaisi explained that media trials are not synonymous with judicial decisions. The matter is under the court's purview, and they will decide. Owaisi mentioned similar cases where 40-45% of MPs with criminal charges still win elections, questioning the double standards applied.
Will the Court Deliver Justice to Tahir Hussain?
Owaisi stated that he won't discuss candidate selection criteria on television, affirming that justice for Tahir Hussain lies in the court's hands. He was also asked why specifically Tahir Hussain was chosen for the ticket.
Are Kejriwal-Sisodia beyond reproach?
Owaisi pointed out that Delhi's former CM Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia faced jail time but secured bail. Are they spotless? Meanwhile, Tahir Hussain has been in jail for five years without getting bail. Why is that?
Condemnation of IB Officer's Murder
Owaisi expressed concern over the IB officer's murder and condemned it. He emphasized that Tahir Hussain’s guilt cannot be decided by media speculations but only by the court, relying on concrete evidence.
