"The district administration is scared. I was in two districts today and there were absolutely no issues. But Mulayam Yadav is the MP from Azamgarh, so they are scared and there is pressure on the administration," Owaisi told ANI.

Following the scuffle, the city district administration took the decision to not let Owaisi enter the area.
