Demanding ‘martyr’ status for the 26 people killed in the Pahalgam attack, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday said India must teach Pakistan a lesson for backing terrorism.
Addressing a public meeting in Motihari in Bihar’s East Champaran district, he said the Centre must take all necessary steps to ensure that the perpetrators of the gruesome attack are brought to justice.
“The Centre must accord martyr status to all 26 people who were killed by terrorists in Pahalgam. I request Prime Minister Narendra Modi to respect the sentiments of the families of those who lost their close ones by honouring them,” he said. PTI
