Following the US operation in Venezuela and abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has suggested Prime Minister Narendra Modi undertake a similar operation to bring back the mastermind of the 26/11 terror attacks and Masood Azhar, the terrorist freed by the BJP government in 1999.

“If US President Donald Trump can abduct Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from his own country, then you (Prime Minister Modi) can also go to Pakistan and bring back the mastermind of the 26/11 terrorist attacks to India,” Owaisi said.

He further added, “We are telling you Modiji, you can also go into Pakistan and bring back those cruel people who hatched the conspiracies against Mumbai, be it Masood Azhar or LeT’s ruthless devils.”

His remarks follow US aggression in the Latin American country. The US launched a military operation and captured President Maduro and his wife from his residence.

According to reports, Maduro and his wife were dragged by the US special forces from their bedroom. The couple was later taken to New York where they will be charged under the US law.

Meanwhile, BJP leaders have also responded to Owaisi’s remarks.

“Asaduddin Owaisi is known for sensational news. He is advising US President Donald Trump. I pray that the US President Donald Trump will consider his advice,” said Bihar minister Dilip Jaiswal.

Another BJP MP Ghulam Ali Khatana said that India’s counter-terror policy under the Narendra Modi government has been to target terrorists and not the countries. He added India is a responsible nation and won’t fall for any provocation.
