  "account": "A lavish wedding held in London for Akbaruddin Owaisi's daughter, Kaneez Fatima Owaisi, has sparked a wave of online criticism and trolling. The extravagant celebrations have drawn attention due to the contrast with the AIMIM leader's previous public appeals for simple and low-cost Muslim weddings. Kaneez Fatima, a barrister, married Dr. Ibrahim Murtaza in London on August 20, 2026. Prominent figures, including Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, attended the high-profile event. Critics accused Owaisi of not adhering to his own advice to keep weddings simple and avoid excessive expenditure. Some alleged that the wedding could have cost several crores of rupees, although this claim could not be independently verified. The controversy has centered on the perceived contradiction between Owaisi's public statements on wedding expenditure and the scale and overseas setting of his daughter's wedding.",
