AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi didn’t hold back on Saturday. He took a jab at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying if President Donald Trump could snatch Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and haul him off to the US, then why can’t India bring back the masterminds behind the 26/11 Mumbai attacks from Pakistan?

Owaisi brought up the US military’s operation in Venezuela and claimed Trump’s forces had captured Maduro and taken him to America. He didn’t mince words. If Trump could pull off something like that, why hasn’t India done the same with those accused of plotting the Mumbai terror attacks?

“Today, we heard that Trump’s forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and took him to America. If Trump can abduct Maduro from his own country, then, Modiji, you can go to Pakistan and bring back the mastermind of the 26/11 attacks,” Owaisi said at an event in Mumbai.

He kept up the pressure, saying Modi should send the Army into Pakistan to bring back Masood Azhar and other Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists. “We’re telling you, Modiji, why can’t you send troops to Pakistan and bring back the masterminds of 26/11, whether it’s Masood Azhar or any other devil from Lashkar-e-Taiba?” he asked.

Owaisi’s sarcasm didn’t stop there. He added, “If Trump can do it, Modi ji, you’re no less. If Trump can, you have to do it too,” reminding everyone of Modi’s old line, “Abki Baar Trump Sarkar.”

The 26/11 attacks shook Mumbai to its core in November 2008. Ten terrorists from Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba carried out a series of coordinated attacks across the city, killing at least 170 people and leaving more than 300 injured. It remains one of the worst terror strikes in India’s history.
