The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) party unit will organise a peaceful protest across the country on Friday, demanding a detailed investigation into the attack on its chief Asaduddin Owaisi.
The decision was announced by AIMIM party spokesperson and parliamentarian from Aurangabad District Imtiaz Jaleel.
"All AIMIM units across the country will be registering a peaceful protest on Friday and will be submitting memorandum to respective DMs/Commissioners seeking thorough investigation into attacks on Asad Owaisi. Also seeking highest security at his public meetings in UP", Jaleel tweeted.
Jaleel also sought putting in place stringent security arrangements for the AIMIM president during his public meetings in the poll-bound Uttar Pradesh state.
Uttar Pradesh state police have informed that two persons named Sachin and Shubham have been arrested in the matter. The accused told police that the AIMIM chief's anti-Hindu comments hurt them.
"Police has arrested two people -- Shubham and Sachin who attacked -- Owaisi's car," wrote a twitter user while posting the video of accused.
"My car was fired [upon] at Chhajarsi toll plaza. Four rounds of bullet were fired. There were 3-4 people, all of them ran away and left the weapons there. My car got punctured, but I got out in another car and left. We are all safe," AIMIM chief Owaisi wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
Although the situation remained calm in Uttar Pradesh after the attack, tension prevailed in his home state of Telangana.
Protesting the attacks on the AIMIM chief, a black flag was hoisted at Charminar Market in Telangana's capital city of Hyderabad. Local hawkers in the area also closed their shops as a sign of protest against the attack.
Owaisi, a staunch critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), has often come under attack for his speeches, which are often called "anti-Hindu speech".
Last September, Owaisi's official residence in New Delhi was vandalised by a group of Hindu Sena (a Hindu group) men, who called the MP a "jihadi".
