Minutes after Rambhakt Gopal, who opened fire at people protesting the citizenship law near Delhi's Jamia Millia University, Hyderabad politician Asaduddin Owaisi challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "identify him by his clothes".

The comment was a reference to a remark by PM Modi in which he targeted those opposing the citizenship law, which critics say discriminates against Muslims, and claimed "you can easily make out who is spreading violence by the clothes they wear".

In a series of sharply-worded tweets the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief also hit out at Union Minister Anurag Thakur, who was handed a 72-hour ban today by the Election Commission this afternoon for making hate speeches while campaigning for next month's Delhi election.
