AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has taken a sharp dig at Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, questioning whether they can still land their “leased Chinese aircraft” at the Rahim Yar Khan airbase, which was severely damaged by the Indian Air Force (IAF) strikes on May 10.
Owaisi’s Jibe & Pakistan’s Response
- Social Media Taunt: Owaisi posted on X, sarcastically asking if Munir and Sharif could still operate their Chinese-made aircraft at the crippled airbase.
- IAF’s Precision Strikes: The Rahim Yar Khan airbase, a key Pakistan Air Force (PAF) facility, suffered extensive runway damage, forcing Pakistan to declare it non-operational for a week.
- Pakistan’s Admission: The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) confirmed the closure of the airbase, citing “work in progress” following the attack.
Operation Sindoor & India’s Military Strategy
The IAF’s strike on Rahim Yar Khan was part of Operation Sindoor, India’s retaliatory military campaign launched after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives. The operation targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), eliminating over 100 militants.
Geopolitical Impact & Future Outlook
Owaisi’s remarks reflect India’s growing confidence in its military superiority, as Pakistan struggles to repair its damaged air defense infrastructure. With Pakistan’s airbases crippled, analysts predict long-term strategic advantages for India in the region.
