AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticized Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the deteriorating law and order situation in the state, citing the recent spate of attacks on AIMIM leaders. Owaisi urged Kumar to prioritize addressing these security concerns and ensuring justice for the victims’ families.

Adil Hasan Azad, AIMIM’s Bihar spokesperson, described Salam as a non-controversial and dedicated leader, calling for a thorough investigation by the police.

The incident has raised concerns about political violence in Bihar and underscores the need for authorities to take decisive action to maintain law and order.
