'In kam*o, hara****don jo harqat ki': Asaduddin Owaisi loses cool over Pahalgam attack

NEW DELHI: “Inn ka***no, h******don nejoharkat ki, wahan par naam pooch kar goli maare, samudaaya pooch kar marein, iski accountability toh honi chaiye,” said AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi as he slammed the Pahalgam terror attack and demanded accountability for what he called a grave security lapse.


Speaking to media in Hyderabad, Owaisi questioned how such a high-footfall tourist destination could be left unguarded. “ A place where there were so many tourists, there was not even one police personnel, or a CRPF camp. The Quick Reaction Team (QRT) took over an hour to arrive at the scene. And these people shot people after asking about their faith.”
Blaming Pakistan for sheltering the attackers, he said, “They came from Pakistan, and Pakistan supports them. How did they cross the border? Who is responsible for it? They could also reach Srinagar if they reached Pahalgam. Justice would only prevail when accountability is fixed... and these terrorists will be punished.”
Owaisi said Union Home Minister Amit Shah called him personally to invite him to the all-party meeting in Delhi. “The reason for which the all-party meeting is called is of national importance. The Home Minister just called me and asked where I am. He has asked me to come. I will book the earliest ticket and reach the all-party meeting (in Delhi),” he said.
This came after he publicly questioned the government’s decision to include only bigger political parties. On X, he shared details of a conversation with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, who told him that only parties with five or ten MPs might be invited.
“Regarding the Pahalgam All Party Meeting, I spoke to Kiren Rijiju last night. He said they're thinking of inviting only parties with '5 or 10 MPs.' When I asked why not parties with fewer MPs, he said that the meeting would get 'too long.' When I asked, 'What about us, the smaller parties?' He joked that my voice is, anyway, too loud,” Owaisi posted.
He stressed the importance of inclusivity and urged the PM to hear out all voices. “The all-party meeting aims to send a strong and united message against terrorism,” he said, questioning whether the Prime Minister couldn’t spare some more time to listen to everyone.
