All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday (July 16, 2025) night demanded that the Centre continue Operation Sindoor until the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terrorist attack are apprehended or killed.
Addressing a public meeting in Bodhan protesting the new waqf legislation, Mr. Owaisi described the terror attack as a glaring example of the Narendra Modi government's security lapse.
Owaisi Demands Revenge for Pahalgam Attack, Slams Modi Govt
'Pahalgam must be avenged. Continue Operation Sindoor. Till the time those four terrorists are caught and killed, we will keep asking you these questions,' he said.
Mr. Owaisi criticised Jammu & Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha for his recent remarks in which he took 'full responsibility' for the attack. 'If you are responsible, then resign. Resign and leave,' the AIMIM president said. 'How did those terrorists reach Pahalgam? Tell us.'
Seeking to link claims of information being available of Nepalese, Myanmarese and Bangladeshis residing in Bihar, Mr. Owaisi wondered when this was the case, how the Modi-led government could not have information on how the terrorists entered Pahalgam.
'In Bihar, you say there are Bangladeshis and Rohingyas. Then tell me, how did those four terrorists reach Pahalgam? You talk of Nepalis in electoral rolls. But how did the terrorists get into Pahalgam? Was your administration asleep? Did your administration have their eyes closed ?' he asked.
