Hyderabad: MIM floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi has condemned the reports that he delivered a controversial speech in Karimnagar.

"Recently, I gave a speech in Karimnagar, wherein I did not give any offensive or illegal statement nor I hurt the feelings of any community. However, some persons with ulterior motive for their political gain are adding words and creating different meanings as per their own desires and imagination.
