All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi launched a scathing attack on Pakistan on Saturday, labeling it a “failed state” that perpetually disrupts India’s peace. Addressing a public rally, the Hyderabad MP endorsed the Indian government’s trade restrictions with Pakistan and called for its inclusion in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list for sponsoring terrorism, intensifying his critique amid ongoing bilateral tensions.

“India is far stronger than Pakistan and always will be. Pakistan is a failed state, unable to ensure peace among its ethnic groups or maintain cordial ties with neighbors like Iran and Afghanistan,” Owaisi declared. He sharply criticized Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir for recent anti-India rhetoric, urging tougher measures in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack. Owaisi’s remarks reflect frustration with Pakistan’s alleged role in destabilizing the region, particularly after the deadly assault that claimed 26 lives.

Praising the Modi government’s decision to ban Pakistani ships and flights, Owaisi said, “This is a step in the right direction, but India must push for Pakistan’s inclusion in FATF’s grey list to curb its terror financing.” Targeting Munir, he added, “He should remember that India’s Muslims rejected Jinnah in 1947 and chose to stay. Their descendants will never abandon this land.” Owaisi also rebuked a former Bangladeshi military officer’s claim about “occupying India’s Northeast,” stating, “Your existence as an independent nation is India’s gift.”

Owaisi’s fiery rhetoric underscores the deepening India-Pakistan rift, particularly following recent terror incidents. His call for diplomatic and economic pressure via FATF signals a push for global accountability. The remarks are likely to spark debates in India’s political and international circles, highlighting the complex interplay of security, diplomacy, and regional dynamics in addressing Pakistan’s actions.
