Owaisi Criticizes Centre for Allowing IndiaPakistan Match After Pahalgam Attack

He casts the Dubai fixture as valuing money over 26 lives, questioning consistency with India’s stance on the Indus Waters Treaty.

Overview

  • Addressing a late-night gathering in Hyderabad, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi asked the BJP and RSS to state the worth of the 26 Indians killed in Pahalgam versus the match revenue he said could run into hundreds or thousands of crores.
  • He cited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s line that “blood and water cannot flow together,” arguing that playing Pakistan contradicts claims of blocking water under the Indus Waters Treaty.
  • The IndiaPakistan Asia Cup game is scheduled in Dubai on Sunday, marking the rivals’ first meeting since the May military conflict reported by media accounts.
  • Owaisi linked his criticism to domestic concerns, alleging targeted demolitions against Muslims, objecting to NCERT changes he says blame Muslims for Partition, and attacking comments by RSS and Assam’s chief minister.
  • He urged stronger action on Gaza, said the government’s response to Manipur was too late, and questioned outcomes of the Prime Minister’s engagements with China.
