AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday strongly condemned the US-Israeli attacks on Iran and Pakistan’s actions in Afghanistan and warned that if the attacks do not stop immediately, the entire region will be embroiled in instability.
In a post on X, Owaisi said the attacks were totally condemnable and described them as an immoral and illegal act, offering his sincere condolences to those affected.
“The Trump-Israel attacks on Iran are absolutely condemnable. This, especially when Iran and the US were in Geneva. More than 200 people have been killed across Iran, including 108 who were killed in the strikes on a girls’ school. The assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei is an immoral and illegal act,” the Hyderabad MP said.
The condemnation comes at a time of escalating tensions in the Middle East following coordinated military strikes by Israel and the United States on Iranian sites. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was also killed in US-Israeli airstrikes.
“Sincere condolences. These attacks on Iran should end as soon as possible otherwise the entire region will be embroiled in instability. We must remember that 10 million Indians are working in this region,” Owaisi wrote.
Owaisi also penned a famous Urdu couplet by Pakistani poet Muhammad Iqbal to convey that death is not the end of life.
“Mout Ko Samjhe Hain Ghafil Ikhtitam-e-Zindagi Hai Ye Sham-e-Zindagi Subah-e-Dawam-e-Zindagi,” wrote Owais, which loosely translated into English means – “the ignorant think that death is the end of life, but it is the evening of life that becomes the dawn of eternal life.”
Iqbal suggested in these couplets that death is not an end but a transition – one of the tenets of Islam.
Owasi also criticized Israel’s attack on Iran and Pakistan’s aggression against Afghanistan, saying that both states show that the two nations are aggressive and nefarious forces in their neighborhoods.
“Israel’s attack on Iran and Pakistan’s attack on Afghanistan show us that Israel and Pakistan are aggressive and nefarious forces in their neighborhoods,” he said.
Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan also reached a critical point after Pakistan carried out airstrikes on several Afghan cities, including Kabul and Kandahar. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has declared “open war” against Afghanistan and accused the Taliban-led administration of harboring militants.
Afghanistan has expressed openness to negotiations despite the escalating conflict, with both states reporting significant casualties along the border.’
