Days after shots were fired on the vehicle of AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on February 7 urged him to accept the Z category security cover provided to him by the central government. He said, "The threat to Owaisi has been reassessed and a bulletproof vehicle and Z category security has been given to him. But, as per verbal information by himself, he has refused to accept it. I request him to accept the security given to him by the central government."
