All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir and called them "stupid jokers" amid the row over a fake memento of Pakistan's Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, which was launched in response to India's 'Operation Sindoor' at a high-profile event.
The whole row stemmed from the fake memento which was recently presented to Sharif by Munir in an attempt to further strengthen Pakistan's propaganda of claiming a victory over India after the recent military standoff after Pahalgam terror attack. There was also an exhibit of a painting that resembled the Chinese military drills.
What All Did Owaisi Say?
Owaisi, who currently is representing India's diplomatic outreach in Kuwait said the Pakistani PM and his Army chief "need brains to copy".
During an interaction with the Indian community in Kuwait, he said, "We used to hear in childhood that 'nakal karne ke liye akal chahiye' (Copying requires intelligence). In nalayako ke pass toh akal bhi nahi hai (These worthless people don't even have brains)."
"These stupid jokers want to compete with India. They gave a photograph of a 2019 Chinese Army drill, claiming it was a victory over India. This is what Pakistan indulges in. They cannot even gift a proper photograph," he said.
Pakistan's 'Victory' Claims Over India
This was not the first time that Pakistan attempted disseminating misinformation about its military operations against India. Earlier, on May 15, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar used a fake picture of an article in the UK-based newspaper to applaud the Pak air force.
While speaking in the Parliament, Dar reportedly quoted a headline from The Daily Telegraph which read "Pakistan Air Force: The undisputed king of the skies".
