NEW DELHI: AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday lashed out at the government over US President Donald Trump declaring a ceasefire between India and Pakistan before New Delhi's official statement on May 10.
During a debate in Lok Sabha on Operation Sindoor , Owaisi asked: "How can a ' gora' sitting in the White House announce a ceasefire on India’s behalf? Is this your nationalism? If Uncle Sam [Trump] makes the announcement, what message does that send to our armed forces? A naval officer stationed at sea must be wondering...Why didn’t my own Prime Minister declare the ceasefire?"
"The success of Operation Sindoor created euphoria across the nation, but unfortunately, the government failed to capitalise on it. I say this with responsibility: The Pakistani Army, its ISI, and its deep state have only one objective -- to weaken India."
Owaisi also lashed out at the government over an India-Pakistan Asia Cup cricket match scheduled to take place on September 14 in the UAE.
The Hyderabad MP said: "The Prime Minister once said, blood and water cannot flow together, and talks and terror cannot go hand in hand. In that case, after the killing of civilians in Baisaran valley, does your conscience permit playing a cricket match with Pakistan? You’ve cut off trade ties, shut down airspace, and stopped 80% of engagement, but you're still ready to play cricket? On what moral ground?”
Owaisi also sought accountability on the Pahalgam attack , saying: How did the four rats [terrorists] slip in and massacre civilians?”
“What deterrence are you talking about? You carried out surgical strikes, you bombed Balakot, yet Pahalgam still happened. This shows your deterrence has failed. Your Kashmir policy has failed. And then, a country we consider our strategic ally, its head of state, invites the Pakistani army chief, the very man whose speech provoked the massacre of our people. How is that acceptable?” Oawisi asked.
