Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Navneet Rana on Tuesday issued an open threat to the Owaisi brothers, Asaduddin Owaisi and Akbaruddin Owaisi, saying that if the police were removed from duty for just 15 seconds, they would find themselves bewildered about their whereabouts.
Rana made the remark while addressing a public meeting in support of BJP Hyderabad candidate Madhavi Latha.
In his controversial remark made in 2013, Akbaruddin Owaisi had said that if police is removed for 15 minutes, “we (Muslims) will finish 100 crore Hindus”.
“The younger brother (Akbaruddin Owaisi) says ‘Police ko 15 minute hata do toh hum dikhayenge ki hum kya kar sakte hain’. I would like to tell him, it will take us just 15 seconds,” Rana said.

The BJP MP from Maharashtra’s Amravati further added, “If you remove police for 15 seconds, you will not be able to understand from where they came and where they went (kahan se aaya aur kahan ko gaya). It will take us just 15 seconds.”
Reacting to Rana’s remark, AIMIM leader Waris Pathan said that Rana was making such remarks as she has understood that she is badly losing from Amravati seat this time.

He also questioned why the election commission or police have not taken any action so far.
“What will you do if police are removed for 15 seconds? What is the police administration doing? Why has no action been taken so far? What is the Election Commission doing? Are such statements allowed in elections? We would like the Election Commissioner to take cognisance of this statement and take strict action. BJP has come to realise that this time it is difficult for them to cross 200-250 seats,” Waris said according to ANI.

Meanwhile, addressing the BJP supporters, Rana said that if you vote for AIMIM and Congress, it goes directly to Pakistan, adding, “Madhavi Latha will definitely stop Hyderabad from turning into Pakistan and work for the development of Hyderabad through Parliament.”
Navneet Rana is contesting this election from Amravati Lok Sabha constituency on BJP’s ticket. In 2019, she contested as an independent candidate and won the election.
