Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM chief, has rejected Union Home Minister Amit Shah's request to accept Z category security.
The Hyderabad MP said, "Today in the parliament, HM Amit Shah asked me to accept Z category security. I want to say to him that the value of my life is not more than 22 people who died during the CAA protest. I don't like people with arms around me, I'm a free bird, want to live freely."
