AIMIM Chief Owaisi’s advise for Pakistan PM

Hyderabad: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi launched a scathing attack on Pakistan PM Imran Khan for his veiled threat of launching a nuclear attack while called the terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed founder Masood Azhar “a butcher of humanity”.

Addressing AIMIM Revival Day meet-up, he said: “He (Imran Khan) says he has atom bomb. Do we not have those? We do too,” New Indian Express reports.

AIMIM had re-entered into mainstream politics on this day after it was banned due to the presence of Razakars in its midst. Razakars, during the accession of Hyderabad State to the Indian Union, had unleashed communal violence.

“Those who understood Islam stayed in India, while Razakars who followed Mohammad Ali Jinnah went to Pakistan,” he said.

“Muslims of this country know better. Handle your ‘Lashkar-e-Shaitaan’ (Lashkar-e-Taiba) and Jaish-e-Shaitaan (Jaish-e-Mohammad). Exploding bombs and attacking people is not Islam,” Owaisi reminded.

He slammed LeT founder Masood Azhar for his inhumanity, by calling him a “devil’s dog and butcher of humanity”.

He urged the Pakistan PM to stop talking about how Muslims in India were minorities in India and that he needs to learn about how few Muslims like Tipu Sultan, Bahadur Shah Zafar in India emerged out prominent personalities.

“Tipu Sultan was never against Hindus, but against certain regimes, whoever led those,” Owaisi said.

Mocking PM Modi and his government’s ‘mera booth sabse mazboot’ campaign, the Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief said, “Sarhad mazboot to desh mazboot (a country can be strong only when its borders are strong).”

“You may have doubts about whether I am patriotic or an anti-national, but while the BJP says mera booth sabse mazboot, I will say that if my borders are protected, my country is safe. We praised the government for the airstrikes in response to Pulwama (attack in Jammu and Kashmir on February 14), but now Prime Minister Narendra Modi has to answer how the terrorists were able to procure explosives. How did they get hold of American weapons? Who is responsible for the intelligence and diplomatic failures?”

Urging people to vote for YSRC, he said: “I want to appeal to the citizens of Andhra Pradesh that they must allow Jagan and K Chandrasekhar Rao win 35 seats — including the AIMIM’s seat in Hyderabad — for the success of the people of both Telangana and AP, the success of minorities and Dalits and the failure of Modi.”
