Since the Pahalgam terror attack, Asaduddin Owaisi has taken a firm stance against Pakistan, condemning the neighbouring country as a "failed state" that must fear India and think "100 times" before initiating any aggression again.

He has consistently praised Operation Sindoor , launched in retaliation to the attack, urging the Indian armed forces to "completely destroy" Pakistan's terror infrastructure and teach the Pakistani deep state a "tough lesson" to prevent any recurrence of such atrocities.

Owaisi has emphasised that the Pahalgam massacre was a "Pakistan-sponsored" act of barbarity, and he insisted that Pakistan's continued denial of involvement is unacceptable.

He stated that the time for trying to convince Pakistan is over, calling for a decisive response rather than reflection to end the cycle of terror once and for all.

Owaisi has also highlighted the broader context of Pakistan's use of Islam as a facade for terrorism, pointing out that Indian Muslims overwhelmingly reject the two-nation theory and stand united within India.

Netizens Hail Owaisi

A section of netizens, however, ignored the context of India-Pakistan tension linked to Owaisi's X post, and began rooting for him:“Bengal ka CM banao inko (make him Bengal's CM)."

One wrote,“ek Iftar party mere taraf se”, while another said,“Owaisi Saab! Ek hi dil hain! Kitni aar Jeetoge!”

Pakistani officials acknowledged the damage but contested some Indian claims, particularly the assertion that drones were launched from Rahim Yar Khan to attack Indian border villages.

The Rahim Yar Khan Airbas , officially known as Shaikh Zayed Airbase, is situated about 4.6 kilometres southwest of the Rahim Yar Khan city in Pakistan's Punjab. It serves as a significant Pakistan Air Force (PAF) facility with dual military and civilian use, sharing infrastructure with Shaikh Zayed International Airport.

The airbase holds strategic importance due to its location, allowing rapid military deployment and operations across southern and eastern Pakistan. It hosts various PAF assets, including fighter jets and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), making it a critical forward operating base for operations facing India.
