Asad’s ‘jokers’ jab at Sharif, Munir over fake victory pic | Hyderabad News

Hyderabad: Hyderabad MP and AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi described Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and army chief Asim Munir as “stupid jokers” for sharing a doctored image of a Chinese army drill and passing it off as a Pakistani military triumph over India.Speaking in Kuwait on Tuesday as part of an all-party Indian parliamentary delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda for global outreach against terrorism, Owaisi ridiculed Pakistan’s propaganda attempts.“I am telling you a fact. Yesterday (May 26), Pakistan’s army chief gifted a photo to PM Sharif. The President of Pakistan, the Speaker of the National Assembly were all there. These stupid jokers want to compete with India. They gave a 2019 Chinese army drill photo claiming it as a Pakistani victory over India. They cannot even produce a proper photograph,” he said.Switching to Urdu, Owaisi added: “Nakal karne ke liye akal bhi chahiye. In naalaayakhon ko akal bhi nahin hai,” mocking Pakistan’s attempt to fake a military success.Switching back to English, he stressed: “You just imagine — the PM, President, Speaker, and so-called Field Marshal are all there, and the photo they present is from a 2019 Chinese PHL-O3 drill. This is what Pakistan indulges in. Don’t believe even a word they say — trust our foreign ministry.”Responding to a question about Indians and Pakistanis working in Kuwait, Owaisi said: “You are here to work. But your love for your country cannot be questioned. You know how to draw the line and correct misinformation politely.”Owaisi also highlighted India’s proactive stance on the The Resistance Front, which he said is a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba. “We told the UN 1267 Sanctions Committee in Dec 2023, and again in May and Nov 2024, that TRF is a Pakistan-based terror group. Pakistan tried hard to keep TRF’s name out of the UN Security Council statement. Why would they do that unless they had something to hide?”On IMF funding, the AIMIM leader warned: “Our concern is that the $2 billion loan Pakistan is receiving will end up with the Pakistan military. It is well known this money reaches core commanders.”“We are concerned with Pakistan’s deep state, ISI, and free rein to terrorists. Ask any Pakistani in Kuwait to name a single terrorist camp in India. There is none. We have more Muslims in India than Pakistan, and we are better believers in Allah and Rasool,” Owaisi said.
