‘Stupid Jokers’: Owaisi Trolls Pakistan Over Asim Munir Memento Fiasco, Gets Rijiju’s Thumbs-Up

AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday trolled Pakistan after Army Chief Asim Munir presented a memento of Operation Bunyan al-Marsus against India before political leaders, when in reality it was a picture of a 2019 Chinese drill.

As netizens heavily trolled Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir for “photoshop”, Owaisi also joined the bandwagon, saying that Pakistan did not even have the brains to copy things properly and wanted to compete with India.

“Yesterday, the Pakistani Army chief gifted a photo to the Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif,” Owaisi said during an interaction with the Indian diaspora in Kuwait. “These stupid jokers want to compete with India, they had given a photograph of a 2019 Chinese Army drill claiming it is a victory over India.”

“This is what Pakistan indulges in, they cannot even provide a proper photograph. Nakal karne ke liye akal chahiye, inke pass akal bhi nahi hai (It takes brains to copy, and they don’t even have that),” he added.

Owaisi further stated that, given this blunder, no one should take anything Pakistan says seriously.

Owaisi’s comment received an endorsement from Union Parliamantary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju. “Pakistan ki pol khol di! (Exposed Pakistan). At least Asaduddin Owaisi speaking as true Indian in very critical time,” Rijiju said on X.

Asim Munir reportedly hosted a high-profile dinner last week, during which he presented the doctored image to political leaders as a token of appreciation for their “foresight” during the four-day armed conflict with India.

Indians mocked the gesture, accusing Pakistan of trying to “win” the battle through Canva and Photoshop. Many shared the original image of the Chinese drill on X, drawing attention to the manipulation.

“Pakistan’s PM gifts Asim Munir a 2019 Chinese drill photo, claiming it’s ‘OP Bunyan Al Marsus’. Pakistan is now using a Chinese Drill Photo to Celebrate Its own Military Operation. They can’t even produce original visuals of their own military operation. Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir are fooling their entire Nation. REALLY,” said an individual on social media.

The relations between India and Pakistan hit rock bottom after the neighbouring country resorted to a terror attack in Kashmir’s iconic Pahalgam on April 22, killing 26 innocent tourists.

In response, India, on the intervening night of May 7 and 8, launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ against Pakistan and destroyed multiple terror targets there and in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK). Over 100 terrorists, taking shelter in Pakistan, were also killed in the operation.
