AIMIM leader and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday tore into Pakistan for spreading terror in the name of 'jihad', and sought international sanctions against the nation. Hailing the Indian Armed Forces for 'Operation Sindoor', Owaisi said that India must get the UN Security Council to designate The Resistance Front (TRF), the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) offshoot that is said to be behind the Pahalgam terror attack, as a terrorist organisation.
The suggestions by the AIMIM leader were made at an all-party meeting chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who met representatives of political parties to share information about 'Operation Sindoor'.
"I complimented our armed forces and the government for carrying out Operation Sindoor. I suggested that we run an international campaign against TRF. We must get the UN Security Council to designate it as a terrorist organisation. We must get the US to designate TRF as a foreign terrorist organisation," he said.
"In February, Hafiz Abdur Rauf delivered a speech in PoK that we want to do jihad this year. They want to murder and spread terror in the name of jihad. Pakistan must be put on the grey list of FATF. We must also get the UK government to ban TRF and sanction Pakistan," Owaisi told the media after the meeting.
Praising Operation Sindoor, he said the biggest achievement was the attacks on Muridke and Bahawalpur. "These are known terrorist headquarters." Owaisi also called for compensation for the families of the civilians who were killed during Pakistan's heavy shelling in Poonch.
