AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday used harsh words and expletives to lash out at the terrorists who carried out the deadly Pahalgam attack and blamed Pakistan for the dastardly incident.

“Inn ka***no, ha***zaado ne jo harkat ki, wahan par naam pooch kar goli maare, samudaaya pooch kar marein, iski accountability toh honi chaiye. Aur yakeenan ye dehshatgar humare padosi mulk Pakistan se aaye, Pakistan ke ISI, Pakistan ka establishment, unka poora support inko haasil hai," the Lok Sabha MP said in Hyderabad.

The statement translated to: “The terrorists, what they did, asking people their names and then killing them, there must be accountability. They came from Pakistan and are backed by Pakistan’s ISI and establishment."

Owaisi's remarks earned him praise from netizens, including even those who often target him for his stance on various issues. Social media users said that Owaisi was "far better" than other opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav in condemning the attack.

The AIMIM chief had also welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement to punish the Pahalgam terrorists and their planners "beyond their imagination".

The Lok Sabha member from Hyderabad said that his party supports whatever steps the government takes in the national interest.

"There should be no compromise on terrorism. The need of the hour is to take care of the nation. Whatever steps the government takes for the national interest, security, and protection of Kashmiris, the AIMIM will support them. In this critical time, we have to be united for national interest," Owaisi said.

Meanwhile, in a video message, Owaisi appealed to Muslims to wear black armbands when they offer Friday prayers against the Pahalgam terror attack, to give a message to the terrorists that "we condemn their acts."

India on Wednesday downgraded diplomatic ties with Pakistan and announced a raft of measures, including the expulsion of Pakistani military attachés, suspension of the Indus Water Treaty of 1960, and the immediate shutting down of the Attari land-transit post given the cross-border links to the horrific Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians.
