BJP Slams Owaisi Over Provocative Remarks
- BJP slams Owaisi for comments on 26/11 terror mastermind
- BJP slams Owaisi as NV Subash cites foreign policy norms
The BJP slams Owaisi after the Telangana unit strongly condemned remarks made by Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi. The party said his statement was highly irresponsible and provocative. According to the input, Owaisi allegedly suggested that if the United States could capture the President of Venezuela from his palace in Caracas, India should similarly capture the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind from Pakistan.
Reacting sharply, BJP Telangana chief spokesperson NV Subash described the comments as “reckless provocation masquerading as bravado.” He said the remarks reflected a disturbing mindset. He added that the mindset appeared divorced from India’s civilisational ethos and constitutional values. “This mindset may belong to dynasties of conquest and intrigue, where brothers and fathers were eliminated for power, but it certainly does not reflect the culture of Sanatanis, to whom this land belongs,” Subash said.
Meanwhile, Subash questioned the basis of Owaisi’s remarks. He asked whether the comments came from a lack of understanding of India’s foreign policy traditions or from inherited political malice. “India has never been an expansionist nation. Our strength lies in restraint, responsibility, and adherence to international law,” he asserted. He also stated that neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor India’s armed forces require unsolicited and ill informed advice from a leader steeped in a Razakar like mindset.
Subash then spoke about India’s approach to terrorism. “India’s response to terrorism has been firm, calibrated, and lawful—whether through diplomatic isolation, surgical strikes, or international pressure,” he said. However, he expressed concern over what he described as Owaisi’s disregard for international norms. He said it was unfortunate that a Member of Parliament, who claims to have studied law abroad, showed scant respect for international law, the United Nations Charter, and the principle of national sovereignty that governs a civilised global order.
Later, Subash challenged Owaisi to follow parliamentary procedure. “If Owaisi genuinely believes in what he says, let him submit a formal proposal in writing as a Member of Parliament and allow the elected government to take a considered decision. Making incendiary remarks from public platforms only exposes his inability to rise above street corner rhetoric,” Subash cautioned. He also said the people of Telangana and the country had long understood AIMIM’s political style. According to him, it thrives on controversy, provocation, and headline seeking statements rather than responsible public discourse.
