“all our warfare were able to stop whatever was thrown from a failed state like Pakistan.”
All-Party Delegation, Asaduddin Owaisi Calls Pakistan a ‘Failed State’ latest news: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MP Asaduddin Owaisi interacted with prominent Indians and civil society members in Bahrain as part of a diplomatic outreach by an all-party delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda. He said the problem of terrorism emanates from Pakistan and even called Pakistan a “failed state.” He added that India has shown utmost restraint in dealing with Pakistan, even after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.
“Our government has sent us here so that the world knows the threat India has been facing for so many years. Unfortunately, we have lost a huge number of human lives. Innocent people have been killed,” he said, answering a question during the meeting.
Pointing out Pakistan’s support for terrorism, he said, “The fact of the matter is that this problem emanates from Pakistan only. Unless and until Pakistan stops promoting, aiding, and sponsoring all these terrorist groups, this issue will not go away.”
He also spoke about how India has shown restraint time and again, including in the recent war-like situation between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 innocent lives were taken after the attackers identified victims based on their religious profile. The TRF, a shadow group of the Pakistan-based terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, had claimed responsibility for the attack.
He said, “India has exercised utmost restraint in dealing with this problem. I do not want to reiterate what the head of my delegation, my honourable, good friend Mr. Jay Panda, has said. But please understand — India has exercised utmost restraint. You know, even after the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 tourists have lost their lives and please understand the enormity of this massacre — a girl who got married six days ago, on the seventh day, she becomes a widow. Another girl who got married two months ago, she becomes a widow.”
He said India has the " wherewithal” and, “all the means to ensure the safety not only of Indians but anyone who lives in India, citing how on the “9th and 10th of May, Pakistan unleashed whatever it had (arms and amunition), no amount of damage happened in the mainland India.”
He also said, “Yes, in the Poonch area we know what happened,” referring to casualties and fatalities in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir during the recent four-day war-like situation between the two neighbouring countries, despite the extensive defense resources India has.
“all our warfare were able to stop whatever was thrown from a failed state like Pakistan.”
Talking about India’s firm position and intolerance towards terrorism, he said, “I can assure you with full responsibility that our government has taken all necessary steps to protect the life and limb of every Indian. This government has made it very clear: If they take up this misadventure again, the consequences will be beyond what they are expecting.”
“See, we don’t want to reply in that way. There is a limit to the patience of Indians. You cannot go on and come into India and kill people. You cannot place bombs. The first terrorist suicide attack took place in front of the J&K Assembly. You had Uri, Pulwama and last year, in July, terrorists went and shot Hindu pilgrims who were travelling in a particular bus. Seven people were killed.”
Highlighting how the whole nation unites when it comes to India’s integrity, he said, “There is complete unanimity in our country, irrespective of whatever political affiliations we belong to. Yes, we have political differences, but when it comes to the integrity of our country, it is high time the neighboring country understands.”
He also expressed hope and requested the Bahraini government to help India bring Pakistan back onto the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, citing how Pakistan uses funds to support terrorists.
“I hope and request that the Bahraini government will assist us in bringing Pakistan back to the FATF grey list because this money has been used to support those terrorists.”
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), established in 1989 by the G7 countries, aims to develop policies to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.
Pakistan has been placed on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) "grey list" three times, once in from February 2008 - June 2010, the second time from February 2012 - February 2015 and third time from June 2018 - October 2022.
He also pointed out that Pakistan allowed a “designated terrorist” to offer namaz-e-janaza (funeral prayer) for those killed on the night of Operation Sindoor — India’s strategic and calibrated strike on terrorist sites in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan. He cited this as a clear example of how Pakistan supports terrorism, calling it an act of “shamelessness.”
“I’m sure our chairman, my friend Jay Panda, must have told you that we had bombed those 9 terrorists sites, especially Bhawalpur of Let-How is it that a designated terrorist is offering the namaz-e-janaza (funeral prayer) for those people? I mean, there is a limit to this shamelessness.”
The delegation, led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda, includes MPs Nishikant Dubey (BJP), Phangnon Konyak (BJP), Rekha Sharma (BJP), Asaduddin Owaisi (AIMIM), Satnam Singh Sandhu, Ghulam Nabi Azad, and Ambassador Harsh Shringla.
The visit aims to brief international partners on India's stance and to highlight the threats posed by cross-border terrorism. Each delegation comprises at least five parliamentarians from across parties and a senior diplomat, who will travel to various world capitals to inform them about the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. Some non-MPs have also been included.
The delegation is scheduled to visit the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Russia, Japan, South Africa, and countries in West Asia, among others, according to a report in The Economic Times.
