AIMIM Leader Asaduddin Owaisi has lashed out at the BJP over am party leader’s remark on conducting ‘surgical strikes’ in Old Hyderabad to weed out Rohingyas and nationals from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Owaisi challenged the BJP and said that they have 24 hours to name Pakistanis residing in the area.
‘The BJP leader said they will conduct surgical strikes and flush out Pakistanis and Rohingyas.
I want to ask BJP on whom you would conduct surgical strikes?
These people living in the old city are Indian citizens.
I give you 24 hours to tell how many Pakistanis live here?’ Owaisi said.

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar at the 13th All India Conference of China Studies said that India-China's parallel rise in the contemporary era is a 'unique happening in the human history'. "The two nations have some similarities, especially of size and history but there is also very interesting contrast in many ways culturally, politically or economically. Both are in the process of building a modern nation-state from a civilized society. And their parallel rise in the contemporary era albeit at different pace and intensity is a unique happening in the human history," said EAM. He further added, "For all the differences and disagreements that we may have had on boundary, central fact was that border areas still remain fundamentally peaceful. Last loss of life at India-China border before 2020 was as far back as 1975. That is why the events in Eastern Ladakh last year have so profoundly disturbed the relationship because they not only signalled a disregard for commitments about minimising troop levels but also showed a willingness to breach peace and tranquillity."
