According to the government’s assessment, Owaisi still faces a threat, the federal interior minister said, adding that he had been provided with bulletproof vehicles and Class Z security measures.

“However, based on his own verbal information, he (Owassi) refused to accept it. I asked him to accept the security guarantees given to him by the central government,” Shah further said in the upper house of parliament.

Last week, the car of the head of AIMIM in Hapur, western Uttar Pradesh, was shot. Owaisi returned to Delhi after campaigning for the state’s parliamentary elections. No one was injured in the attack, the congressman tweeted hours after the attack.

The two accused of attempted murder have been identified as Sachin and Shubham – residents of Gautam Buddh Nagar and Saharanpur, respectively. Police said two handguns were seized from the attacker’s property and a Maruti Alto car was also seized in connection with the case.

A day after the incident, the centre offered Owassi a “Z” category of security, but the latter refused and asked the Narendra Modi-led government to make him an “A” “equal” to all class citizen.

“I don’t want Z security. I want to be an A citizen, like all of you. Why isn’t UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) invoked against the person who shot me?  …I want to live, Suffice to say. When the poor are safe, my life is safe. I will not be afraid of those who shoot at my car,” Owaisi said in the Lok Sabha last week.
