PM Narendra Modi mum as Pakistan plays T20 with Kashmiris: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi

HYDERABAD: AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for saying that India is set to play a T20 World Cup cricket match with Pakistan even as Indian soldiers and civilians are being killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Nine of our soldiers have died. We want to ask Modiji whether India will play a T20 match when Pakistan is playing T20 with the lives of the people of India in Kashmir. Poor workers from Bihar are being killed. Is it not Modi who had earlier said that when our soldiers are dying Manmohan Singh-led Congress government was offering biryani to them,” Owaisi said addressing a gathering here on Monday night.
India and Pakistan are set to play against each other in the T20 World Cup on October 24 in Dubai. The MIM chief sought to ask what the Intelligence Bureau and Union home minister Amit Shah were doing. “Terrorists are coming from Pakistan. Weapons are being dropped through drones. Is this the ceasefire you (PM) announced on Line of Control. What for,” he asked.
He said the Modi government had claimed that almost everything had been set right in Kashmir after abrogation of Article 370. “Nothing has changed in Kashmir. Targeted killings are going on. Whatever is happening is due to the failure of the Modi government. The Centre does not have a policy against the terrorists,” Owaisi said.
