Why Owaisi's hate speech doesn't help MIM's cause

Firstpost  

As Akbaruddin Owaisi drove back 300 km from Adilabad Jail to his home Hyderabad on Saturday evening, I wonder if he thought that the past two months have been such a long journey. Politically for Owaisi and his party, the All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen and for the Muslim community at large, the hate speech episode has been a setback. It also resulted in many otherwise indifferent Muslim liberals getting communalised, especially when Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s rabble rouser Pravin Togadia replied in kind to Owaisi’s hate speech. What turn Hyderabad politics takes will now depend on what kind of response the MIM chooses to give, post Akbaruddin Owaisi’s stint in jail.
