Owaisi Urges Modi to Seize 26/11 Masterminds From Pakistan, Citing U.S. Venezuela Operation

The AIMIM leader used Donald Trump's claim of capturing Nicolás Maduro to press for cross-border action on the Mumbai attacks case.

Overview

  • In a Mumbai speech, Asaduddin Owaisi called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to send forces into Pakistan to bring back those behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
  • He specifically named Masood Azhar and members of Lashkar-e-Taiba as targets for capture and return to India.
  • Owaisi referenced Trump's statement that U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flew him to New York, and he also cited Saudi strikes in Yemen.
  • Trump posted a photo purportedly showing a blindfolded Maduro aboard the USS Iwo Jima and said the operation was conducted with U.S. law enforcement.
  • The remarks revived demands for accountability over 26/11, which killed about 170 people, with no immediate official response from the Indian government reported.
