“We Stand with PM Modi,” Says Owaisi
Owaisi affirmed his solidarity with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the fight against terrorism.
“We’ve seen terror groups from Pakistan commit such heinous crimes before. On this matter, I stand firmly with PM Modi. Whatever action he decides to take, we support him. Justice must be served,” he said.
Direct Attack on ISI and Pakistan
In a fiery rebuke, Owaisi addressed the ISI chief, stating:
“To the ISI chief who’s talking nonsense — we chose to stay in India in 1947. We rejected Jinnah’s vision. India is our motherland, and we won’t let you disrupt our peace.”
He further criticized Pakistan’s internal conflicts and governance failures, calling it a “failed state”.
Owaisi Questions Pakistan’s Stability
Owaisi highlighted the deep divisions and poverty in Pakistan:
“Your country is divided among Muhajirs, Balochs, Pathans. You’re at odds with Iran and Afghanistan. You create unrest in India to cover your own failures. The time has come for a powerful response to destroy these terrorist groups.”
Bangladesh Also in the Line of Fire
Responding to criticism from Bangladesh, Owaisi reminded their leaders of India’s role in the country’s independence:
“Without India, Bangladesh would not even exist today.”
Praise for India’s Tough Diplomatic Stand
Owaisi concluded by praising the Indian government’s steps to isolate Pakistan:
“I commend India for suspending trade and cutting air and water routes. No matter what missiles Pakistan tests, India is stronger, more advanced, and fully capable.”
