AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of having time for celebrations but not for condemning the deaths of Indians in a US strike. Owaisi's remarks came after reports emerged that several Indians were killed in a US military operation abroad.
Owaisi Questions PM's Priorities
Taking to social media, Owaisi questioned the Prime Minister's silence on the issue. He pointed out that Modi had found time to celebrate the Bharatiya Janata Party's victories in recent assembly elections but had not issued a statement condemning the loss of Indian lives in the US strike.
“The PM has time for celebrations but not to condemn the deaths of Indians in a US strike. This shows his priorities,” Owaisi wrote on X (formerly Twitter). He demanded that the government take up the matter with the US administration and ensure justice for the families of the victims.
Background of the Incident
The US strike, reportedly targeting terrorist hideouts, resulted in the deaths of several individuals, including Indian nationals. The exact number of casualties and the identities of the victims are yet to be officially confirmed by Indian authorities.
Owaisi's criticism adds to the growing political pressure on the Modi government to respond to the incident. Opposition parties have also called for a detailed statement from the External Affairs Ministry regarding the safety of Indians abroad.
The AIM chief further alleged that the government's silence was a reflection of its indifference towards the lives of ordinary Indians, especially those working overseas. He urged the Prime Minister to break his silence and address the nation on the matter.
As of now, the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of External Affairs have not issued any official response to Owaisi's allegations.
