AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has once again taken centre stage with his bold remarks — this time targeting both the Indian government and the United States over the recently announced ceasefire and alleged soft stance on Pakistan-sponsored terror.

In a sharp critique, Owaisi said, "I have said it before, I will say it again, our Prime Minister should have announced the ceasefire, not the US President. Do you know that Pakistan's trade with the US is worth only 10 billion, whereas for India it is over 150 billion. Is it a joke?"

He questioned the credibility of America’s assurances on regional peace, saying, "Can America guarantee that Pakistan will not carry out terror attacks on us anymore?... Pakistan's military will always mess with India. How long will we tolerate this?"

The Hyderabad MP also hit out at the idea of any diplomatic or economic engagement with Islamabad: "How can you trade with Pakistan? They are beggars..." He further stressed, "We are only expecting this much from the US, that they should designate the TRF (The Resistance Front) as a terrorist organisation... TRF is nothing but a Pakistan-sponsored group of LeT (Lashkar-e-Taiba)."

Taking a jibe at how he is viewed across the border, Owaisi remarked with characteristic wit: "Pakistanis have not seen anyone else so outspoken or handsome. They only see me in India... They should keep listening to me; their knowledge will increase, and their ignorance will disappear."
