Asaduddin Owaisi, the leader of the AIMIM party, has sparked political debate by delivering a fiery speech that called attention to Pakistan’s failing economy, unstable nuclear arsenal, and tales of terrorism overseas. In a typical manner to begin with sharp wit and love for his country, Owaisi could not hesitate to declare Pakistan an “official beggar,” not taking a “sacred IMF package” seriously and issuing an ominous warning of danger into Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities. He called upon worldwide political authorities to collaborate to prevent and expunge Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities, while also exposing the utilization of foreign financial aids in forwarding terror and instability in India and overseas.
Pakistan’s Debt Trap: “Official Beggars” on the World Stage
Owaisi’s speech began with a scathing attack on Pakistan’s economic mismanagement. He ridiculed Pakistan for its chronic habit of taking loans, saying, “They are official beggars. They took a loan from the IMF of $1 billion. The IMF is not the International Monetary Fund for them; it’s the International Militant Fund!” He questioned how countries like the USA, Germany, and Japan could support such bailouts when Pakistan has done nothing in the past 75 years except run to the IMF with a begging bowl.
Owaisi did not leave a single moment as she sarcastically pointed out that Pakistan has issues with its economy and dared to tell India what to do in terms of religion and governance. The fact that Pakistan cannot run its economy is more visible than it tries to lecture India on governance. Pakistan is still somewhere there and is pretending to teach where Islam is. He said, “This is their sinister policy to undermine peace locally and sow discord between Hindus and Muslims.”
Owaisi noted that Pakistan has frequently defaulted to the IMF in the last 35 years and received a disbursement 28 times. He cast doubts on the success of these IMF programs, saying that if successful, Pakistan would not have been in another financial emergency.
Owaisi’s Warning on Terror Financing
Using biting sarcasm, Owaisi converted his criticism into a sharp warning about the new $1 billion IMF loan to Pakistan. He claimed that the IMF is supporting terrorist operations through the money flow to a country that is known to attack India across the borders. ‘That $1 billion will not go to addressing poverty, wiping out polio or even championing women empowerment – it will be used to destabilize India,’ he warned.
Held responsible for the double standards practiced by the West, he asked why they must accept it when the same Pakistan supports terrorism. Owaisi stated that the flood of money was only crowning Pakistan’s military and terrorist machinery at the expense of the Pakistani people. “How can the USA, Germany and Japan pay for them when our country is under attack by their military and terror groups?” he asked.
Owaisi also said that India did not vote for the IMF resolution on Pakistan’s loan and raised concerns about previous mismanagement, as well as the possibility of terrorism financing.
Pakistan’s Nuclear Arsenal: A Threat to Humanity
What made Owaisi’s address the most appealing was his demand that the rest of the world should marshal its forces and dismantle Pakistan’s nuclear force. He called Pakistan a “failed state” and a “serious threat to all humanity,” saying that no country with such problems of governance and terrorism can have nuclear weapons.
Pakistan has threatened nuclear backlash several times. The world has to ask itself whether this nation is eligible to have atomic weapons. Pakistan should be disarmed, he insisted. He talked about the finding of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan and said in a responsible country, no one would allow such a country, which has a similar history, to own nuclear weapons.
He called for international solidarity for the disarmament of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons: “They have been using terrorism to destabilize India”. Such weapons threaten the whole world. International society should call upon Pakistan to stop owning nuclear weapons, whether by Western countries or others all over the world.
Owaisi Exposes Pakistan’s Maliciousness
Owaisi directly denounced the new incursions into territory in India that Pakistan has been allegedly waging. He even went ahead to condemn the targeted attack on civilian places such as hospitals and dispensaries in Srinagar as the “epitome of maliciousness.” He noted that Pakistan has carried out drone and missile strikes on military bases and civilian targets in north India. Still, India’s military has neutralized almost all of those threats.
He highlighted the role of Pakistan in helping terrorists that have carried out attacks on the commoner and crucial religious places while urging global leaders to act immediately to halt the growing threat. “Large-scale operations have been carried out in Bahawalpur and Muridke, where Pakistan’s army backs terrorists that operate overseas in support of the connection between the terror groups and their own military,” comments Owaisi.
Owaisi’s Big Warning: “Any terrorising act will attract military force”.
Issues of strong comments, Owaisi insisted no further emanations of terror by Pakistani would be treated as acts of war and India would respond in the same. He asked his fellow citizens to suspend political differences and stand firmly for the nation’s security forces as this nation is confronted with severe circumstances.
He urged world leaders to see that Pakistan is a serious threat to India and global peace and security. “We should unite to fight a nation threatening the world’s safety. One day or another, the world leaders would have to decide if this country deserves to own nuclear arms. Owaisi wrapped up by saying that these nuclear weapons in this country should be dismantled and removed.
Owaisi’s Full Statement (Key Excerpts)
“They are official beggars. Their share of money that they had received through the IMF was at $1 billion. For them, the IMF is not the International Monetary Fund. It’s the International Militant Fund!”
“Pakistan has always threatened a nuclear attack. The international community should question whether this state should be permitted nuclear access to weapons. It must be disarmed.”
How could the USA, Germany, and Japan allow such a thing? Pakistan cannot even run a government or manage an economy. They sit down and pontificate to us about Islam. This strategy is meant to shake stability here and create conflict between Hindus and Muslims”.
“The West knows that Pakistan supports terrorism, but they are silent. This $1 billion is not going to address poverty and polio or support women’s empowerment – it is being preserved to hurt India.
We must be deserving in opposing a state that threatens the world. Finally, world leaders will become forced to ask themselves whether this country deserves to have nuclear weapons. We need nuclear disarmament.
Conclusion: It has been a long time since the international community has noticed this.
Through a sensational and sarcastic speech, Asaduddin Owaisi drew attention to the perilous mix of economic disaster, terrorism and nuclear weapons Pakistan faces. He makes it abundantly clear that Pakistan’s problems are not regional but do pose a global threat to world security. World leaders need to come together, stop supporting terrorism, and destroy Pakistan’s nuclear weapons before it is too late. According to Asaduddin Owaisi, “We need to stand united and as strong as a wall”—for the sake of our country and the rest of the world.
