Kishanganj, May 4 \u2014 All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has strongly condemned recent provocative remarks made by retired Bangladeshi Major General ALM Fazlur Rahman, who suggested that Bangladesh should invade India\u2019s northeastern states if New Delhi retaliated against Pakistan for the Pahalgam terror attack.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a public meeting in Bihar\u2019s Kishanganj on Saturday, Owaisi reminded Bangladesh of its historical debt to India. \u201cYou must remember that you owe your existence as an independent country to India,\u201d he stated, in reference to India\u2019s pivotal role in Bangladesh\u2019s liberation in 1971.<\/p>\n
Rahman, reportedly an aide to former Bangladeshi chief adviser Muhammad Yunus, made the controversial suggestion in the wake of a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives. However, Yunus\u2019 interim government has officially distanced itself from the remarks, according to PTI.<\/p>\n
Owaisi did not mince words in his criticism of Pakistan either, branding it a \u201cfailed nation\u201d that seeks to destabilize India. \u201cIndia is and shall always remain much stronger than Pakistan,\u201d he declared. \u201cPakistan has failed to bring peace among its own ethnic groups and has poor relations with neighbours like Iran and Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Addressing the Pahalgam attack, the AIMIM leader urged the Indian government to consider harsher diplomatic and financial measures against Pakistan. \u201cThe Modi government has rightly restricted the movement of Pakistani ships and aircraft, but stronger steps such as placing Pakistan on the FATF grey list should also be considered,\u201d Owaisi said.<\/p>\n
He also took aim at Pakistan army chief General Asim Munir over his anti-India rhetoric, asserting that Indian Muslims had rejected the idea of partition in 1947 and remain committed to their homeland. \u201cMuslims living in India had rejected Jinnah in 1947, choosing to stay back, and their descendants will not leave this land under any circumstances,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Owaisi\u2019s remarks come amid heightened tensions following the Pahalgam attack and rising concerns about cross-border terrorism.<\/p>\n
