All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday condemned Pakistan over terrorism, stating that terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam justified the killing of innocent people by asking their religion.
Owaisi, part of the all-party delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda that arrived in Manama, Bahrain yesterday, referred to Pakistan as a “failed state" during an interaction with prominent figures.
“These terrorist organisations have justified killings of innocent people in India and they have out of context quoted Quranic verses…we have to put an end to it. They have used religion to justify the killing of people. Islam condemns terrorism and the Quran has categorically stated that the killing of one innocent person is like killing whole of humankind," said Owaisi.
Owaisi further said there is no difference between the Pakistani terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam killings and ISIS in Syria.
There is no diffrence between these Pakistani terrorists (responsible for killings in Pahalgam) and the ISIS in Syria. They have killed after asking people their religion and quoted the holy Quaran.

“Our government has sent us over here…so that the world knows the threat India has been facing since last so many years. Unfortunately, we have lost so many innocent lives. This problem emanates from Pakistan only. Unless and until Pakistan stops promoting, aiding and sponsoring these terrorist groups, this problem won’t go away," Owaisi remarked.
He further added, “Our government has taken all the steps to protect the lives of every Indian. This govt has made very clear next time you (Pakistan) take up this misadventure, it will be beyond what they are expecting."
Owaisi noted that India has consistently shown maximum restraint in the face of serious provocations. Referring to the Pahalgam attack, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists, he highlighted the devastating human toll of terrorism.
“Please reflect on the human tragedy of this massacre. A woman who married six days ago became a widow on the seventh day. Another woman, married just two months ago, also lost her husband in this attack," he said.
“There is unanimity in our country, irrespective of whatever political affiliations we belong to. We have our political differences, but when it comes to the integrity of our country, it is high time our neighbouring country understands…I request and hope that the Bahrain government will help us in bringing Pakistan back to the grey list of FATF because this money has been used to support those terrorists," Owaisi added.
The delegation, led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda, also includes BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, BJP MP Phangnon Konyak, NJP MP Rekha Sharma, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi, MP Satnam Singh Sandhu, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Ambassador Harsh Shringla.
The delegation aims to brief international partners on India’s response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and its broader fight against cross-border terrorism while engaging with leaders in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Algeria.
The multi-party delegation, consisting of seven groups, has been sent to key countries to counter global misinformation and highlight India’s zero-tolerance policy on terrorism.
