Lok Sabha MP and AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi mocked Pakistan amid rising tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad.
Owaisi criticised Pakistan's repeated ceasefire violation following the Pahalgam terror attack. "To those sitting in Pakistan and saying rubbish you are half hour behind India, but they are not just half an hour behind they are half a century behind. Your country's budget is not even equal to our military budget," the leader said.
He further said that targeting people of India based on religion is equivalent to acting like ISIS and warned Pakistan of consequences if nuclear weapons are used against India.
"Pakistan always talks about being a nuclear power; they need to remember that if they enter a country and kill innocent people, that country will not sit quietly. No matter the government, by killing our people on our land, and targeting them based on religion, what 'deen' are you talking about?... You have acted like ISIS," Owaisi said while addressing a public meeting in Parbhani, Maharashtra.
He further claimed that Pakistan been training terrorists to act against India for a long time, and said "LeT ( Lashkar-e-Taiba) is the illegitimate child of the Pakistan government."
Owaisi's comments come amid Pakistan's continued ceasefire violations across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. There have been reports from army officials that Pakistani troops fired small arms into Kupwara and Poonch districts for the fourth consecutive night, as per PTI.
A defence spokesperson confirmed that Indian troops responded "swiftly and effectively," and no casualties were reported.
The tensions between the two nations have flared up following a devastating terrorist attack on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, where terrorists open fired on tourists near Baisaran Meadow, killing 26 people. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the nation through his 'Mann Ki Baat' programme, condemned the attack, saying it had left every citizen heartbroken and seething with anger. He assured the families that those responsible would face the harshest action.
Security measures have been increased across India, with marine patrols and vehicle checks at strategic locations such as Gujarat’s Porbandar port.
The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) also met, strongly condemning the attack. In response, India has decided to withdraw its Defence, Navy, and Air Advisors from the High Commission in Islamabad and cut staff strength significantly by May 1.
