Owaisi is an AIMIM LS candidate from Hyderabad Constituency and has represented the constituency four times in Lok Sabha.
Voting for all 17 seats in Telangana will take place on May 13 in the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
Owaisi said on Friday that the BJP Hyderabad candidates' gesture to shoot an arrow purportedly in the direction of a mosque was an "attempt to destroy the peace" of the Hyderabad.
"The BJP candidate is shooting an arrow towards a mosque. What is the message being given to us? That was not an arrow towards the mosque but efforts to destroy the peace of Hyderabad," Owais said while addressing a public meeting.
The Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency comprises seven assembly segments--Bahadurpura, Chandrayangutta, Charminar, Goshamahal, Karwan, Malakpet and Yakatpura.
All assembly seats, except Goshamahal, are presently held by the AIMIM. BJP has fielded Madhavi Latha from the Hyderabad constituency.
