Pro-Israel posters pasted, black ink thrown outside Owaisi's residence in Delhi
A group of five men pasted posters outside the residence of AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi in New Delhi on Thursday evening, demanding his suspension from the Lok Sabha, officials said.
According to a police officer, four-five men reached Mr. Owaisi's 34 Ashoka Road residence located in Central Delhi and pasted three posters at the entry gate and wall of the house about 9 p.m.
The lines like 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai', 'I stand with Israel' and 'Owaisi should be suspended' were written on the posters.
A purported video of the incident surfaced online in which one of the miscreants said that youth of the country should be united against the politician, who does not say "bharat mata ki jai".
The Delhi Police however, reached the spot and removed the posters. By then, the men had gone away, an officer said.
A police officer said they are trying to identify the people and legal action will be taken against them.
Mr. Owaisi saying “Jai Palestine” while taking oath as a member of the Lok Sabha had sparked a row among the other MPs.
"Some 'unknown miscreants' vandalised my house with black ink today. I have now lost count the number of times my Delhi residence has targeted. When I asked @DelhiPolice officials how this was happening right under their nose, they expressed helplessness," Owaisi wrote on X.
Tagging Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Owaisi wrote, "this is happening under your oversight. please tell us if MPs' safety will be guaranteed or not".
"To the two-bit goons who keep targeting my house: this does not scare me. Stop this Savarkar-type cowardly behaviour and be men enough to face me. Do not scurry away after throwing some ink or pelting a few stones," he wrote further.

Priyank Kharge counters ‘no Congress without Siddaramaiah’ remark
Bengaluru: Karnataka Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge on Wednesday criticised senior Congress leader K N Rajanna for stating that the Congress would not exist in Karnataka without Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deccan Herald reported.
Rajanna had reportedly said on Tuesday that, there was no Congress without Siddaramaiah. He has said this earlier, too.

“You need Congress for the ‘B’ form, you need Congress’ leadership during the election campaign and you want Congress’ ideology. But after winning and coming to power, saying such things is wrong,” Priyank said, without naming Rajanna.
“The party is not by, or for, individuals. None must forget that we (leaders) are here because of workers. Without workers, neither am I a leader nor anyone else,” DH quoted Priyank as saying.
Priyank Kharge said the Congress has a history of over 140 years and leadership keeps evolving over time.
On the delay in appointing Congress workers to boards and corporations, he asked party workers to be patient. He said chairpersons have already been appointed and the appointment of directors is pending. While 85% of the process is done, the rest will be done,” he said.
Citing his father and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, “One needs to have patience in politics. There’s no bigger example than Kharge for hard work and patience,” he said.
