MIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi faults Pakistan, Israel and U.S. leaders
Taking to X, Mr. Owaisi stated that Pakistani army chief Asim Munir and Israeli PM Netanyahu both believe that Donald Trump is worthy of being awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace.
Launching a salvo at Mr. Munir, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president described him as a 'key exporter of terrorism to India'. One the other hand, he stated the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a fugitive of the International Criminal Court. Mr. Owaisi maintained that Mr Netanyahu committed a genocide.

Asaduddin Owaisi calls Pahalgam attack painful, vows to boycott India-Pak match
AIMIM Chief and veteran Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi, in an exclusive podcast with India Today, said he will not watch the upcoming India vs Pakistan cricket match in Dubai as part of the Asia Cup.'I am surprised and shocked that we are playing a cricket match with Pakistan in Dubai. I will not watch it,' Owaisi said. 'How can you jump and play cricket when the Prime Minister himself has said many times that water and blood cannot flow together, and that talks and terrorism cannot go together?'advertisementCalling cricket in India 'an obsession' that brings everything to a standstill, Owaisi said the recent Pahalgam terror attack, where people were shot in front of their families, had deeply pained him. 'The incident was horrific. It is painful that someone can be shot in front of their wives and children. To me, it makes no sense to play a cricket match with Pakistan when we have taken such stringent measures,' he said. When asked why India is playing under such circumstances, he said the answer lies with the BCCI and the government, which permitted the to Home Minister Amit Shah's statement that there is 'nothing called Hindu terror,' Owaisi asked, 'Who killed Mahatma Gandhi? Who killed Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi? Who killed the Sikhs in the streets of Delhi? Who is killing police personnel in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh?'"Terrorism has become a new religion and these terrorists do all the acts in the name of religion," he said. "Amit Shah may have forgotten who killed Mahatma Gandhi. Nathuram Godse was the first terrorist of independent India," he GOVERNMENT IN PARLIAMENT FOR ALLOWING CRICKET MATCH In a fiery speech in Parliament earlier during the ongoing Monsoon Session, Owaisi questioned the decision to play cricket with Pakistan while trade and water treaties remain suspended. 'Does your conscience permit playing a cricket match with Pakistan? You've cut off trade ties, shut down airspace but you're still ready to play cricket?' he further demanded accountability for the security lapse in Pahalgam, questioning how terrorists could enter and kill civilians despite a heavy military presence. He also criticised the government's Kashmir policy, claiming deterrence had failed despite the abrogation of Article 370.- EndsMust Watch

S-400 was a game-changer in Indo-Pak face-off: IAF
NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: The downing of a large Pakistani aircraft in the air during Operation Sindoor was "actually the largest-ever recorded surface-to-air kill by India", Air Chief Marshal A P Singh said Saturday. Delivering the 16th ACM LM Katre memorial lecture in Bengaluru, Singh said, "One large aircraft, which could be either an ELINT (electronic intelligence) aircraft or an AEW&C (airborne early-warning and control) aircraft, was taken out at a distance of 300km... The S-400 was a game changer for us." Armed with slides and satellite grabs at Bengaluru that exorcised the "ghost of Balakot" in the recent air-to-ground strikes with credible evidence, ACM Singh also said IAF's surface-to-air missile systems, primarily the Russian-origin S-400 'Triumf' air defence system, had "five confirmed kills" of Pakistani fighters in the air. The confirmation for all these kills, of course, is only through electronic means, with their blips disappearing from radar screens after being hit by missiles, and not physical since the wreckage of the planes fell in Pakistan. Singh, however, did not quantify the IAF fighter losses during the initial strikes on the nine terror hubs on May 7, which were conducted without suppression or destruction of enemy air defences (SEAD/DEAD) that is typically undertaken before launching any air campaign. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Back Pain Treatments That Might Surprise You! Back Pain Treatment | Search Ads Undo Chief of defence staff Gen Anil Chauhan, on the sidelines of the Shangri-La dialogue in Singapore on May 31, had admitted India lost some fighter jets during the initial strikes but then changed tactics (including undertaking SEAD/DEAD) to inflict major damage on Pakistani airbases deep across the border. Other senior officers told TOI that the S-400 system, which has missiles with interception ranges of 120km, 200km, 250km and 380km as well as long-range acquisition and engagement radars, had engaged 16-18 targets in the air during the hostilities. "Apart from the five Pakistani jets and one large aircraft or 'high-value aerial asset', the others were incoming large UAVs, cruise missiles and long-range stand-off weapons like the H2 and H4 precision-guided glide bombs," an officer said. The IAF chief, on his part, said three Pakistani aircraft hangars were also targeted during air-to-ground strikes - UAV hangar at Sukkur, AEW&C hangar at Bholari & F-16 hangar at Jacobabad. The IAF deployed Sukhoi-30MKI, Rafale and Mirage-2000 jets to launch BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles as well as Crystal Maze-2, Rampage and Scalp missiles for calibrated pinpoint strikes. At least one AEW&C aircraft, possibly a Swedish-origin Saab Erieye, and "a few F-16s" were under maintenance inside the Bholari and Jacobabad hangars at that time. "One half of the Jacobabad hangar is gone. I am sure there were some aircraft inside," ACM Singh said. Other such strikes destroyed two surface-to-air guided weapon sites at Lahore and Okara, two underground command centres at Murid and Chaklala and six radar centres, "some big, some small", the IAF chief added. Officers said these radar sites were at Sukkur, Lahore, Arifwala, Chunian, Jacobabad and Nayachor. Overall, IAF struck eight air bases like Sargodha, Rahimyar Khan, Chaklala, Rafiqi, Jacobabad, Sukkur, Murid and Bholari, with the runways being especially targeted in the first two. The runway at the Rahimyar Khan airbase, incidentally, is still not operational three months after the strikes.
