All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who was part of an all-party delegation on Operation Sindoor, said India currently has a new generation of Muslims whose ambitions are the same as their fellow citizens.

During an interaction with CNN-News18, Owaisi said he “does not believe in stereotyping and boxing Muslims”.

“This new generation of Indian Muslims shares the same aspirations as every other Indian which are peace and prosperity,” he said.

Rejecting allegations that his party is the “B team of BJP”, Owaisi said he believed in whatever he said as part of the Operation Sindoor delegation.

He also said the world must monitor how the  IMF loan is being used by the Pakistani Army.  "Pakistan's field Marshal Asim Munir could not get a original painting so got earlier Chinese drill painting to showcase to the world that this is what we have done with India," said the AIMIM chief.
