January 08, 2013 13:22

BJP spokesperson Balbir Punj on Tuesday hit out at the Andhra Pradesh Government for allegedly failing to take prompt action over the "hate speech' of Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader Akbaruddin Owaisi.

"Somewhere, the Andhra Pradesh Government and the Owaisi clan, they are mixed up. It is a fixed match,' Punj said.

"Owaisi has made a highly criminal and an anti-national speech. Any serious government would arrest right at the time he stepped out of aircraft and would not have allowed the crowd there," he added.
