Owaisi exposes Pakistan's false propaganda in Saudi: ‘There are 240 million proud Indian Muslims'
AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi strongly criticised Pakistan for supporting terrorism and spreading false narratives about Indian Muslims in Saudi Arabia. He refuted Pakistan's claims that it represents all Muslims, stating that India is home to a large, proud Muslim population.
"There are 240 million proud Indian Muslims living in India, this is Pakistan's false propaganda that India is hurting them. This is the most unfortunate that Pakistan gives out a wrong message to the Arab world and the Muslim world – that we are a Muslim country and India is not," Asaduddin Owaisi added.
He urged Pakistan to dismantle extremist groups, saying it would help bring peace to the region. "If Pakistan stops these takfiri terrorist groups, there will be stability in South Asia, there'll be progress in South Asia," he added.
Owaisi further called on the international community to put Pakistan back on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, a move that would increase scrutiny on Pakistan's financial system to prevent the funding of terrorist groups.
He further warned Pakistan against training terror groups and trying to stir up religious tension in India, saying, "The whole task is to destabilise India, to create more Hindu-Muslim riots."
Owaisi further exposed Pakistan by showing a photograph of Pakistan's army chief sitting next to a US-designated terrorist, "When this person (Asim Munir) was made a Field Marshal in Pakistan, a US-designated terrorist called Mohammad Ehsan was sitting right beside the Field Marshal. There are photographs of him shaking hands with this field marshal," he said.
The AIMIM chief is part of a multi-party Indian delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda, which is visiting several Gulf countries.
The Indian delegation includes MPs from various parties, including BJP's Nishikant Dubey, Phangnon Konyak, and Rekha Sharma, along with AIMIM's Owaisi, independent MP Ghulam Nabi Azad, Satnam Singh Sandhu, and Ambassador Harsh Shringla.
The delegation aims to inform Gulf countries about India's counter-terrorism efforts and respond to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam. The delegation's goal is to counter misinformation about India's treatment of Muslims and promote its strong stance against terrorism.

Anil Chauhan, chief of defence staff of the Indian Armed Forces, dismissed Pakistan's claim of downing six Indian jets as 'absolutely incorrect' but confirmed the loss of warplanes for the first time read more The Indian military has acknowledged the loss of fighter jets in its recent standoff with Pakistan for the first time, reported Bloomberg on Saturday (May 31). Anil Chauhan, chief of defence staff of the Indian Armed Forces, told Bloomberg that it was important for India to ascertain why the jets were downed. He also dismissed Pakistan's claim of downing six Indian jets as 'absolutely incorrect'. 'What is important is that, not the jet being down, but why they were being down,' Chauhan said, on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Why they were down, what mistakes were made — that are important,' Chauhan said when asked about the fighter jets. 'Numbers are not important,' he added. 'The good part is that we are able to understand the tactical mistake which we made, remedy it, rectify it, and then implement it again after two days and flew all our jets again, targeting at long range,' Chauhan said.

'Countering fake narratives took Army's 15% of time during Op Sindoor': CDS Anil Chauhan
According to the CDS, India's approach to managing narratives should focus on verified facts and credible evidence, even if that means the public response is more measured or delayed read more Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan on Saturday said that one of the challenges that the Indian armed forces had to face during Operation Sindoor was fighting a massive disinformation campaign. Speaking on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, General Chauhan said, 'Combating fake news was a constant effort. Our communication strategy was deliberate; we chose to be measured, not reactive, because misinformation can quickly distort public perception during high-stakes operations.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD According to the CDS, India's approach to managing narratives should focus on verified facts and credible evidence, even if that means the public response is more measured or delayed. 'India has always built its narratives on solid ground, even if we've sometimes been slow to present them. For instance, in the first three days, two women officers were our primary spokespeople because the actual military leadership were directly engaged in fast-moving operations. It was only after the 10th that the DGMOs came forward to brief the media,' he added. Officials spent 15 per cent of their time counteracting fake narratives during Operation Sindoor. 'As someone directly involved in these operations, I can say that cyber did play a role in the conflict, but its impact was limited,' Chauhan further said. India deployed direct & indirect forms of warfare During Asia's biggest defence conference, the CDS said that India deployed both direct and indirect forms of warfare against Pakistani terrorist hubs, leading to the destruction of nine such hideouts. He explained that while Pakistan may have used Chinese commercial satellite imagery, there is no evidence of real-time targeting support. In contrast, India depended on indigenous systems like Akash and succeeded by effectively networking its systems, combining both domestic and foreign radars into a unified defence setup. He emphasised this as a clear example of how modernisation has strengthened India's border defence. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'While both sides did experience attacks, including some denial-of-service efforts, our military systems are air-gapped, meaning they're not connected to the internet and are therefore largely secure. Attacks on public-facing platforms like school websites may have occurred, but they did not affect operational systems,' General Chauhan said.

If we get hostility in return...: Chief of Defence Staff spells out Pak strategy
Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan underscored that India's current policy against Pakistan was of strategic disengagement as New Delhi received nothing but hostility from Islamabad despite diplomatic at the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia's premier defence and security summit, General Chauhan said that despite Pakistan being ahead of India in many metrics after Independence, India was now ahead on all fronts - from the economy to human the India-Pakistan relationship, we are not operating without a strategy. When we gained independence, Pakistan was ahead of us on every metric: social, economic, GDP per capita. Today, India is ahead on all fronts: economic performance, human development, and social harmony, despite our greater diversity," General Chauhan said. He underlined that India had reached out to Pakistan several times, like in 2014 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited then-premier Nawaz Sharif to his oath ceremony after the BJP's win in the Lok Sabha next year, PM Modi made a surprise stop in Lahore to meet Sharif and wish him on his birthday."Diplomatically, we have reached out like in 2014 when the PM invited Nawaz Sharif. But it takes two hands to clap. If all we get in return is hostility, then disengagement may itself be a sound strategy for now," he OPERATION SINDOOR AND AKASH SYSTEMadvertisementSpeaking on Operation Sindoor, the Chief of Defence Staff pointed out how indigenous platforms like the Akash missile system were used effectively to neutralise attacks from the same breath, he highlighted that integrated radars, built into a cohesive network across India, proved to be crucial."We have not only used indigenous platforms like the Akash missile system effectively, but we have also built our own networking infrastructure for air defence without relying on foreign vendors. We have integrated radars from multiple sources into a cohesive network across India and that was crucial," General Chauhan Akash missile system was pivotal in thwarting Pakistan's sustained drone and missile attacks during Operation Sindoor, India's response to the Pahalgam terror attack, earlier this month. In retaliation, Indian forces targeted 11 key Pakistani military sites, including the Nur Khan air base, which is just 10 km from the Army Watch
