incident. He said, &#8220;There have been no arrests and the investigations are ongoing. However, FIR has been filed against unknown persons under the Indian Penal Code section 153 A [Promoting enmity between different groups] and other relevant sections.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the claim that members of the Muslim community installed the banners is baseless. It must also be pointed out that the banners carry statements such as &#8220;Hindu festivals should be prohibited&#8221;, &#8220;Muslims will demolish temples&#8221;, &#8220;Hindus should evacuate areas where Muslims are in majority&#8221;. It is improbable that Muslims will install such banners to draw negative attention to the community.<\/p>\n<p>Alt News analysed the quote attribute to each individual and found these were shared on right-wing pages and BJP supporters on Facebook in the past. But more crucially, there aren&#8217;t any reports that corroborate any of the provocative statements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AIMIM leader and MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The hoarding alleges that Akbaruddin Owaisi said that since the Muslim population in Hyderabad city has crossed over 50%, Hindu festivals should be prohibited. As per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census2011.co.in\/census\/city\/392-hyderabad.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2011 census<\/a>, the percentage of Hindu and Muslim population in Hyderabad city is 64.93 % and 30.13 % respectively.
