He described other scandals as “minor in comparison” and demanded a comprehensive investigation into the matter by the Congress government.

AIMIM demands total prohibition in Telangana
AIMIM floor leader and Chandrayangutta MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi has called for the imposition of total prohibition in Telangana, criticizing the government for prioritizing liquor sales to generate revenue at the expense of public welfare.
Owaisi stated that the state’s aggressive push to increase liquor sales was devastating the lives of “every mother, daughter, wife, and sister.”
He urged the government to adopt the Gandhian policy of total prohibition.
Owaisi accuses pubs, bars of drug dealing
Owaisi accused pubs and bars of turning into hubs for drug dealing and expressed concern over the younger generation falling victim to substance abuse.
He also criticized the lack of government campaigns to raise awareness about the harmful effects of alcohol consumption. Highlighting the scale of liquor availability, he revealed that Telangana has approximately 2,260 liquor outlets, 1,330 bars and pubs, and over 8,300 toddy shops.
He also pointed out the widespread presence of illegal “belt shops.”
The AIMIM leader demanded a serious debate on the issue and questioned the relevance of the term “prohibition” in the state’s Excise and Prohibition department.
“If there is no prohibition, why retain the word in the department’s name?” he asked. Owaisi reiterated his party’s demand for total prohibition, stating that he was voicing this on behalf of all women in Telangana.
