AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi said his lawyers would study the FIR before taking any steps.
Akbaruddin Owaisi, a lawmaker from Telangana, faces arrest for allegedly making provocative remarks at a rally last week in poll-bound Bihar. At the rally, he had also allegedly made derogatory remarks about BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mr Owaisi's party, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), is contesting six of the 20 seats in the Seemanchal region, which has a substantial Muslim population.
On Sunday, Mr Owaisi had addressed a public meeting at a village in Kishanganj district. The leader of AIMIM state party unit, Akhtarul Iman, is contesting for the Kochadhaman seat - where Muslims form 70% of the electorate -- and Mr Owaisi was campaigning for him.
The local police, which had booked Mr Owaisi under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure, was ordered to arrest him today by senior officers.
A senior police officer of Kishanganj, Rajiv Ranjan, had said Mr Owaisi's speech could be described as one promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion. The lawmaker has also used abusive language against all members of Parliament except his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi -- a leader of his party and a lawmaker from Hyderabad -- the officer had said.
Mr Owaisi, who is in Hyderabad, said they were getting a certified copy of the FIR and their team of lawyers will study it before deciding on the next course of action.
"You are asking about language? What kind of language should be used after 3000 people in Gujarat were killed?" he said."It was the constitutional duty of the CM at the time to protect those lives. People are never going to forget that. They will remember it life-long."
