Hyderabad, May 1 (NationPress) In his recent statements against Pakistan, AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi asserted that India must decisively end terrorism originating from Pakistan and suggested that India should take control of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

He emphasized that India should not merely “enter and kill” but rather “enter and stay.”

“Ghar mein ghus ke baith jao,” he urged the Union government, advocating for a strong response against terrorism this time.

Owaisi criticized the Modi government for not seizing the territory of terrorist launch pads during its 2019 operations.

“This is commendable. We should seize it,” he remarked in response to reports about the Pakistani Army abandoning their positions along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir.

“You’re saying they have vacated (posts). If they have vacated, we should go and occupy it. We must not retreat. If any action is taken this time, we should enter and remain,” he stated.

When questioned about whether India should capture PoK, the MP referenced a resolution in Parliament confirming that PoK belongs to India.

“The BJP claims ‘ghar mein ghus ke…’. I’m saying ‘ghar mein ghus ke baith jao’. This terrorism must cease,” he insisted.

Owaisi called for an end to recurrent terrorist attacks, recalling incidents like Lumbini Park, Dilsukh Nagar, and the Mumbai attacks.

“I know a man named Sharma sahab. He is a Telugu scholar. He lost his daughter. Occasionally he visits me, expressing how much he misses her. During the 26/11 attack, a bride from Nizamabad was killed at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai, even with mehndi on her hands. Events like Pulwama, Uri, Pathankot, and Reasi keep happening. All opposition parties are urging the government to just end this,” Owaisi pointed out.

He urged the Modi government to pass legislation in Parliament to exceed the 50 percent threshold on reservations, asserting that if the government is willing, it can easily pass the bill in the upcoming monsoon session with support from all MPs. He questioned what is hindering the government from enacting the bill.

Welcoming the decision to conduct a caste survey, he highlighted its necessity for identifying developed and underdeveloped castes to facilitate affirmative action and ensure justice in the nation.

He demanded the BJP-led government announce a timeline for the caste survey. “The government must inform the public when it will commence the caste survey and if the report will be available before the 2029 elections,” he queried.

Strongly advocating for surpassing the 50 percent reservation limit, the MP noted that 85 percent of the population has been restricted to under 50 percent quota, with OBC reservation confined to just 27 percent.

Owaisi asserted that the caste survey would uncover how 85 percent of the populace has been kept disadvantaged under the guise of Hindu-Muslim dynamics.

“The BJP continuously discusses pasmanda Musalman (backward Muslims). The survey will clarify their status and deprivation. Similarly, it will elucidate the condition of non-pasmanda Musalman,” he stated.

He highlighted that a caste census in Telangana indicated that backward castes comprise 56.32 percent of the state. The state Assembly has also passed a resolution for 42 percent reservation for backward castes.

The AIMIM leader also accused the BJP of “hypocrisy” regarding ‘Pasmanda Musalman’ affairs.

“The BJP formulated the Waqf Act claiming it wants to include pasmanda Musalman on Waqf boards. If the BJP genuinely cares for pasmanda Musalman, why does it oppose their reservation?” he questioned.

He noted that backward classes among Muslims in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh currently receive 4 percent reservation. He clarified that this reservation is religion-based but is rooted in social and educational backwardness.

Owaisi challenged the BJP to abolish reservation for Muslims in Andhra Pradesh, where it collaborates with the Telugu Desam Party.
