AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi tweets, "Truly devastating news of two deaths on the same day. Baba Siddique’s murder is highly condemnable. It reflects the deteriorating state of law & order in Maharashtra. May Allah grant him maghfirah. My condolences to his family, friends & colleagues. Prof. Saibaba’s death is also deeply concerning. His death was also partly a result of the UAPA which allows cops to keep you in prison for lengthy periods without any evidence."
