"Decisive war against naxalism and terrorism is ongoing in country": BJP's Gaurav Vallabh on Owaisi's remark

New Delhi[India], January 5 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Gaurav Vallabh hit out at AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, accusing him and his allied parties of questioning India's surgical strikes and the armed forces.
Vallabh further stated that for the first time, the country has launched a decisive war against terrorism and Naxalism, asserting that any "act of terrorism will be considered an attack by Pakistan."
Speaking to ANI on Sunday, Vallabh said, "Owaisi and his allied parties demanded proof of the surgical strike. Owaisi and his allied parties stood in Parliament and asked how many Indian fighter jets were shot down. Didn't they feel any shame? For the first time, the country has started a decisive war against terrorism. For the first time, the country has adopted a policy that blood and water cannot flow together."
Vallabh said a decisive campaign against Naxalism and terrorism is underway, noting that the Home Minister has pledged to eliminate Naxalism and the Prime Minister has taken firm steps to eradicate terrorism.
"For the first time, the country has declared that an act of terrorism will be considered an attack by Pakistan... a decisive war against Naxalism and terrorism is ongoing in the country. The Home Minister has pledged to eliminate Naxalism from the country, and the Prime Minister has worked to eliminate terrorism, so a decisive war is underway," he added.
The remarks came after Owaisi, speaking at a gathering in Mumbai ahead of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, referred to reports on the Trump administration's recent operation in Venezuela and urged the Indian Prime Minister to take similar action to bring back the 'mastermind' of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks from Pakistan.
Owaisi said, "Today we heard that US President Donald Trump's forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and took him from his country to America. 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."
In an official X post, Owaisi wrote, "If @realDonaldTrump can pick up Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro from there, then why can't @narendramodi pick up the masterminds of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks from Pakistan?" He also shared a video of himself making the statement.
On Saturday, Washington carried out a "large-scale strike against Venezuela", and the deposed dictator, Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured and taken out of the country.
Maduro and Flores were captured in Caracas and flown out of the country in a joint operation involving intelligence agencies and US law enforcement.
Trump stated that Maduro and his wife have been indicted on charges of alleged "drug trafficking and narco-terrorism conspiracies" in the Southern District of New York and will face trial.
He said that American forces, working with law enforcement agencies, captured Maduro and his wife in a night-time operation. (ANI)
