New Delhi: Taking a sharp swipe over Pakistan’s newly appointed Army Field Marshal Asim Munir gifting a fake photo of ‘Operation Bunyan’ against India to Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi said: ‘Nakal karne ke liye akal chahiye’ (it requires brains to copy). He pointed out not to take Pakistan’s claims seriously, “not even with a pinch of salt”.
During an interaction with the Indian diaspora in Kuwait, the AIMIM leader said, “Yesterday, the Pakistani Army chief gifted a photo to the Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif…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.”
He added: “This is what Pakistan indulges in…’Nakal karne ke liye akal chahiye’…inke pass akal bhi nahi hai’…whatever Pakistan is saying, do not take even with a pinch of salt. Rely on what our foreign ministry is saying, our official spokespersons are saying.”

His reaction came after a photo went viral on social media platforms in which Munir was seen gifting an image to Sharif to commemorate ‘Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos’. The photo, however, was actually of a 2019 Chinese rocket artillery drill.
The incident sparked a wave of reactions from netizens, particularly at a time when the central government has been countering Pakistani propaganda against India, especially regarding Operation Sindoor — launched to strike terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Operation Sindoor was in retaliation to April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people.
