Title: Misuse of American soil makes it worse: Owaisi on Munir’s threats
The recent threats issued by Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir against India have sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across the country. Among those who have strongly reacted to the threats is AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi, who has termed them as “condemnable” and demanded a political response from the Modi government.
Owaisi’s comments came after Munir, in an interview with a US-based news channel, threatened to use nuclear weapons against India if the country continues to support the Kashmiri separatists. Munir’s remarks were widely seen as an attempt to flex Pakistan’s military muscle and intimidate India into submission.
However, what made Munir’s threats even more egregious was the fact that he issued them from American soil. As India is a strategic partner of the US, many have questioned why Munir felt compelled to make such threats from the US, and what message this sends to the international community.
In a scathing rebuke, Owaisi said that Munir’s language was reminiscent of that used by a “sadakchaap aadmi” (roadside man), implying that it was crude and lacking in sophistication. “The language used by Munir is condemnable, especially when it comes from the soil of America, where India has a strategic partnership,” Owaisi said.
Owaisi’s comments have sparked a heated debate on social media, with many calling for the Modi government to take a strong stand against Pakistan’s belligerent rhetoric. Others have questioned why Munir felt the need to make such threats, given that India and Pakistan are already engaged in a bitter standoff over Kashmir.
The truth is that Munir’s threats are part of a larger pattern of aggression and intimidation that Pakistan has been employing against India for years. From sponsoring terrorism in Kashmir to making frequent threats against India’s sovereignty, Pakistan’s military has been trying to assert its dominance over the region.
However, Owaisi’s comments highlight the fact that Munir’s threats are not only a threat to India’s security, but also a misuse of American soil for nefarious purposes. By issuing such threats from the US, Munir is not only trying to intimidate India, but also undermining the very foundations of the US-India strategic partnership.
The Modi government has been quick to condemn Munir’s threats, with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar terming them as “irresponsible” and “inflammatory”. However, many have called for more than just words of condemnation. They have demanded that the government take concrete steps to counter Pakistan’s aggression and assert India’s sovereignty.
One possible step that the government could take is to strengthen its diplomatic ties with the US and other countries. By doing so, India can send a strong message to Pakistan that it will not be intimidated or bullied by its aggressive rhetoric. Additionally, the government could also consider increasing its military spending and modernizing its armed forces to ensure that it is better equipped to counter any potential threats from Pakistan.
Ultimately, Munir’s threats are a stark reminder of the dangers of nuclear proliferation and the need for responsible behavior from nations with nuclear capabilities. As India and Pakistan continue to engage in a bitter standoff over Kashmir, it is imperative that both countries refrain from using language that could escalate tensions and spark a conflict.
In conclusion, Munir’s threats are a clear violation of international norms and a misuse of American soil for nefarious purposes. As Owaisi has said, the language used by Munir is condemnable, and it is high time that the Modi government takes a strong political response to these threats. By doing so, India can send a clear message to Pakistan that it will not be intimidated or bullied, and that it will continue to assert its sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs.
