“Yesterday, the Pakistani Army chief gifted a photo to the Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif. These stupid jokers want to compete with India, they had given a photograph of a 2019 Chinese Army drill claiming it is a victory over India,” Owaisi said.
“This is what Pakistan indulges in, they cannot even provide a proper photograph. Nakal karne ke liye bhi akal chahiye, inke pass akal bhi nhi h (It takes brains to cheat, and they don’t even have that),” Owaisi stated, adding that people should not consider whatever Pakistan says, even with a pinch of salt.

The image in question, reportedly shown by Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir to political leaders during a high-profile dinner was intended to commemorate ‘Operation Bunyan al-Marsus’, as per News18. However, it was soon exposed on social media as a manipulated image from a 2019 Chinese military exercise.
Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju praised Owaisi’s remarks on social media saying that he is speaking like a true Indian. “Pakistan ki pol khol di! (Exposed Pakistan completely). At least Asaduddin Owaisi speaking as true Indian in very critical time,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Need to bring Pak to FATF grey list
Owaisi also raised serious concerns about the possible misuse of the $2 billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan granted to Pakistan. He argued that the funds could be diverted towards strengthening Pakistan’s military and terrorism supporting activities.”Pakistan must be brought back in the FATF grey list. The importance of the FATF grey list is that there will be a huge scrutiny on that nation when you do money transactions,” Owaisi was quoted as saying by ANI.

He accused Pakistan of financing anti-India terror groups through hawala and money laundering networks operating in the Middle East.
“It is a fact that Pakistan uses the Middle East hawala or money laundering to sponsor terror groups against India… the $2 billion loan which the IMF is giving will be used by the Pakistani military,” he added.
All-party delegation briefs foreign leaders
Owaisi’s remarks came as India’s diplomatic outreach has intensified following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives. India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ targeting the terror base camp and sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in the early hours of May 7.
Owaisi is a part of an all-party parliamentary delegation led by the BJP MP Baijayant Panda, which is visiting Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Algeria.
The delegation aims to brief countries on India’s response to the Pahalgam attack and highlight India’s zero-tolerance approach towards terrorism.
