Owaisi slams Turkey for backing Pakistan

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen  chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, who has been garnering applause for his tough stand against Pakistan, has come out with another befitting reply to the neighbouring country. And this time it includes Turkey, Pakistan’s “brotherly nation" giving it “unwavering support".

Pakistan has flatly denied that the terrorists who killed 26 tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22 had links to the neighbouring country. This despite India saying it has clear evidence linking Pakistan-based terrorists to the attack.

Not only Pakistan has failed to take “demonstrable steps" against “terrorist infrastructure on its territory or territory under its control", it escalated tensions by resorting to unprovoked, heavy shelling at LoC and launching



missiles and drones from across the border against Indian military bases and civilian areas.

Owaisi, who was earlier seen using expletives against Pakistan, has now questioned Turkey. He claims that Turkey on one hand acts tough against terrorism on its ground, and on the other hand is backing Pakistan that is known to be a global hub of terrorism.

“…We need to make Turkey understand. It’s the only nation in the world that bombs terrorist organisation, the Kurdish groups, on its own land. Till the time they had not struck a deal with Iraq, it used to bomb terrorist organisations there too. And now it’s also bombing such camps in Syria. So they need to be asked that when they can kill terrorists on foreign land, how can they question India," Owaisi said.
