Owaisi Challenges Modi: Bring 26/11 Terrorists from Pakistan
Mumbai: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to bring back the masterminds of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks from Pakistan. Citing the US action, Owaisi said that if US President Donald Trump can arrest a country's president, why can't India take similar action.
Referring to the Venezuelan case, Owaisi said that the US military recently detained Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and took them to the US. He directly challenged Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Owaisi said, "Modiji, if you have a 56-inch chest, why don't you bring back terrorists like Masood Azhar from Pakistan?"

Owaisi said at a public rally in Mumbai that the country is still awaiting justice for the terrorists who killed hundreds of innocent people during 26/11. He named Lashkar-e-Taiba and other terrorist organizations and demanded the government take action in this matter.
US President Trump announced on social media that US special forces detained Maduro and his wife in a major operation. According to the US administration, Maduro faces serious charges of narco-terrorism and criminal conspiracy. He will be tried in a federal court in New York.
