AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has confirmed his participation in the all-party meeting convened by the Centre to discuss the recent Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, mostly tourists. Owaisi revealed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah personally called him to extend the invitation, asking about his whereabouts and encouraging him to attend.
Speaking to reporters, Owaisi stated, “The reason for which the all-party meeting is called is of national importance. The Home Minister just called me and asked where I am. He has asked me to come. I will book the earliest ticket and reach the meeting.” His remarks come after earlier concerns about the exclusion of smaller parties from the meeting, which he had raised on social media.
Owaisi had previously criticized the government’s decision to limit invitations to parties with five or more MPs, arguing that all elected representatives, regardless of their parliamentary strength, deserve a voice in discussions of national significance. He emphasized that the meeting should serve as a platform to send a united message against terrorism and the countries that harbor terrorists.
The all-party meeting, chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and attended by Home Minister Amit Shah, aims to address the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack and formulate a collective response to terrorism. Owaisi’s inclusion underscores the importance of ensuring diverse representation in such critical discussions.
