New Delhi, 12th Aug: AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has launched a blistering attack on Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir, calling his rhetoric “deplorable” and referring to him as a “street-level person” (sadak-chaap aadmi). Owaisi’s condemnation came after Munir’s recent nuclear threats against India, which were reportedly made in Tampa, Florida, during a ceremony for the outgoing commander of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), General Michael Kurilla.
Owaisi expressed that it was “unfortunate” that such threats were being made from the U.S., which is considered a strategic partner of India. He stressed the need for India to increase its defense budget to be prepared for what he called a constant threat from the Pakistani army and its “deep state.”
Munir’s controversial statements reportedly included a nuclear threat, where he claimed that if Pakistan were to “go down,” it would “take half the world down with it.” He also vowed to destroy any dam India might build on the Indus River with ten missiles, asserting that “the Indus river is not the Indians’ family property.”
India’s Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had earlier issued a strong rebuttal, stating that “nuclear saber-rattling is Pakistan’s stock-in-trade.” Jaiswal’s statement added that the international community could draw its own conclusions about the irresponsibility of such remarks, which cast “deep doubts on the integrity of the nuclear command and control” in a country where the military is allegedly colluding with terrorist groups.
