Continue Operation Sindoor till Pahalgam terror attack perpetrators are apprehended or killed: AIMIM chief Owaisi
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday (July 16, 2025) night demanded that the Centre continue Operation Sindoor until the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terrorist attack are apprehended or killed. Addressing a public meeting in Bodhan protesting the new waqf legislation, Mr. Owaisi described the terror attack as a glaring example of the Narendra Modi government's security lapse. Owaisi Demands Revenge for Pahalgam Attack, Slams Modi Govt 'Pahalgam must be avenged. Continue Operation Sindoor. Till the time those four terrorists are caught and killed, we will keep asking you these questions,' he said. Mr. Owaisi criticised Jammu & Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha for his recent remarks in which he took 'full responsibility' for the attack. 'If you are responsible, then resign. Resign and leave,' the AIMIM president said. 'How did those terrorists reach Pahalgam? Tell us.' Seeking to link claims of information being available of Nepalese, Myanmarese and Bangladeshis residing in Bihar, Mr. Owaisi wondered when this was the case, how the Modi-led government could not have information on how the terrorists entered Pahalgam. 'In Bihar, you say there are Bangladeshis and Rohingyas. Then tell me, how did those four terrorists reach Pahalgam? You talk of Nepalis in electoral rolls. But how did the terrorists get into Pahalgam? Was your administration asleep? Did your administration have their eyes closed ?' he asked.

Perturbed by the allegations of promoting religious conversion, Aruna Upadhyay, the sole Hindu woman councilor of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) in Madhya Pradesh, has resigned from the party. In the 2022 civic elections, Upadhyay was one of the four candidates who won on the ticket of the party led by Asaduddin Owaisi. (ANI) In a letter to the AIMIM central office at Hyderabad dated July 14, she said she was resigning from the core committee and party membership due to personal reasons. Talking to reporters, Upadhyay said she was not going to join any other party but would work as an independent councilor of the Khargone municipal council. She resigned "due to the allegations of religious conversion and continuous harassment," she said. Her husband and some other people had reportedly accused her of converting people to Islam. In the 2022 civic elections, she was one of the four candidates who won on the ticket of the party led by Asaduddin Owaisi. Upadhyay's victory drew more attention as she had won from 'ward 2' which had 70 percent Muslim population.

"Indian minorities are ... hostages": Asaduddin Owaisi and Kiren Rijiju engage in verbal spat over minority welfare issue
New Delhi [India], July 8 (ANI): All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday criticised Union Minister Kiren Rijiju in response to a social media post about the Union Government's welfare schemes for minorities in India. In a post on X, Owaisi said that minorities in India have been reduced to 'hostages' rather than even 'second-class' citizens. He also questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking whether it is an 'honour' to be the focus of his 'hate speeches'. 'Is it an 'honour' to be the target of hate speeches from no less than the Prime Minister of India? India's minorities are not even second-class citizens anymore. We are hostages', Asaduddin Owaisi said in his 'X' post. Responding to Owaisi, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju stated that minorities in India do not migrate to other countries, unlike minorities from neighbouring nations who choose to come to India. He said the Prime Minister's welfare schemes are for everyone, including minorities. 'Ok... How come Minorities from our neighbouring countries prefer to come to India & our Minorities don't migrate? Prime Minister Narendra Modi's welfare schemes are for all. The schemes of the Ministry of Minority Affairs provide additional benefits to the Minorities', Rijiju wrote on X. Owaisi, in another post on Monday, replied that according to Rijiju, if minorities in India do not migrate, it means they are 'happy'. He also said that Indian minorities do not have a history of 'fleeing'. Referring to past events, Owaisi said that minorities stayed in India during the British era and did not run away even during the Partition. 'According to Hon'ble Minister Against Minorities, if we don't migrate, it means we are happy. We are not in the habit of fleeing: we did not run away from the British, we did not run away during partition, and we did not run away because of Jammu, Nellie, Gujarat, Moradabad, Delhi, etc, massacres. Our history is proof that we neither collaborate with our oppressors nor do we hide from them. We know how to fight for our democratic rights, and we will inshallah. Stop comparing our great nation with failed states like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal & Sri Lanka. Jai Hind, Jai Samvidhan! Thank you for your attention in this matter!', Owaisi's X post added. (ANI)
