'Stupid Joker': Asaduddin Owaisi Roasts Pakistan; Trolls Pak Over Sharif-Munir Memento Blunder

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi slammed Pakistan with biting sarcasm, calling it a "stupid joker" after a viral video showed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif presenting Army Chief Gen Asim Munir with a memento mistakenly displaying India’s Kargil victory. Owaisi trolled the blunder, questioning Pakistan’s national pride and memory. #AsaduddinOwaisi #Pakistan #AllPartyDelegation #OperationSindoor #ShashiTharoor #UNSC #NishikantDubey #BahrainIndiaDelegation #AsaduddinOwaisi #Pakistan #SharifMunir #MementoBlunder #OperationSindoor #IndiaPakistan #ViralVideo #PakArmy #ShehbazSharif #GenMunir #PoliticalSatire #PakistanEmbarrassment #OwaisiRoastsPakistan #AIMIM #IndiaNews Also Read AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi Mocks Pakistan Over Fake Photo :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/aimim-chief-asaduddin-owaisi-mocks-pakistan-over-fake-photo-4164761.html?ref=DMDesc CRPF Jawan Arrested In Delhi Amid Heightened Pakistan-Linked Spy Probe :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/crpf-jawan-arrested-in-delhi-amid-heightened-pakistan-linked-spy-probe-4163909.html?ref=DMDesc Erdogan Reaffirms Support For Islamabad Amid India Tensions: 'Long live Pakistan-Turkiye Friendship' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/erdogan-reaffirms-support-for-islamabad-amid-india-tensions-long-live-pakistan-turkiye-friendship-4163705.html?ref=DMDesc

Asim Munir RISES even as Pakistan SINKS | What Munir’s promotion means for Pak and the subcontinent? [Video]

Asim Munir RISES even as Pakistan SINKS | What Munir’s promotion means for Pak and the subcontinent?

Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has been promoted to Field Marshal by the Pakistani government, days after tensions with India escalated. Officially praised for his strategic leadership, the promotion comes despite evidence of heavy damage inflicted by India on Pakistani military assets. Analysts view the move as propaganda to mask military losses and assert the army’s dominance over Pakistan’s fragile civilian government. Munir’s rise may signal increased anti-India rhetoric, potential cross-border tensions, and growing fears of martial law. #AsimMunir #FieldMarshal #PakistanArmy #IndiaPakistanTensions #MilitaryDominance #PakGovt #AntiIndiaRhetoric #PakistanPolitics #MartialLawFears #MunirPromotion #CrossBorderTensions #MilitaryEstablishment #CivilMilitaryDivide #TerrorThreats #PropagandaPlay #StrategicFailure #SouthAsiaSecurity #WarPosturing #PahalgamAttack #IndiaStrikes #GeopoliticalTensions #PakistanNews #SatelliteProof #MilitaryControl #AyubKhanComparison #MunirRise #PakistanUnderSiege Also Read Despite Ceasefire, Drone Attacks Continue from Pakistan: Signs of Fallout and Fractures Within Pak Army? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/despite-ceasefire-drone-attacks-continue-from-pakistan-signs-of-fallout-and-fractures-within-pak-a-4151769.html?ref=DMDesc Remember 1971 Surrender!

Nuclear Crisis in Making: Israel Bombs Iran’s Main Enrichment Site, Leak Rumors Explode-IAEA Explain

Tensions between Israel and Iran have reached a critical point after the Israeli military confirmed a precision strike on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility—the heart of Tehran’s uranium enrichment program. Shortly after the attack, rumors of a radiation leak at the site flooded social media, sparking panic and speculation across the region. While Iranian authorities remained silent, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has now stepped in, denying any detected radiation leak but warning of "grave consequences" if strikes near nuclear sites continue. #IsraelIran #Natanz #NuclearLeak #IAEA #Radiation #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelStrike #IranNuclear #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #UraniumEnrichment #WorldNews #NuclearCrisis #IAEAReport Also Read Israel Military Issues Apology After Posting Map Incorrectly Showing Kashmir In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-military-issues-apology-after-posting-map-incorrectly-showing-kashmir-in-pakistan-4181253.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Gave Iran 60 days, Today Is 61’: Trump Urges Iran To Make Deal 'Before It's Too Late' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/gave-iran-60-days-today-is-61-us-president-trump-urges-iran-to-make-deal-before-its-too-late-4181215.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Strikes Iran's Nuclear Sites, Kills Top Generals; Iran Retaliates With Missile Barrages :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-strikes-irans-nuclear-sites-kills-top-generals-iran-retaliates-with-missile-barrages-4181203.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.125~

Al-Qaeda’s DEATH THREAT | Islamic Leader Calls for BEHEADING of Trump, Musk & Rubio | Full Video

Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states. He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken. Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines." #TerrorThreat #AlAwlakiSpeech #JihadPropaganda #USNationalSecurity #IslamistExtremism #CounterTerrorism #RadicalIslam #HomegrownTerror #TerrorRecruitment #AssassinationPlot #ExtremistViolence #AntiSemitismAlert #TargetedViolence #USMilitaryThreat #TrumpSecurity #JewishCommunityAlert #MideastTensions #CyberTerrorismWatch #GlobalSecurityThreat #ManhattanThreatAlert ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~
