Owaisi Calls Jaipur Train Firing A Terror Attack, Blames PM Modi for Deadly Rail Incident

Asaduddin Owaisi, the chief of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), alleged that the firing incident on the Mumbai-bound Jaipur Express Train was a terror attack targeting Muslims.

The incident occurred near Palghar railway station in Maharashtra when a Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable shot dead his senior colleague and three passengers. The victims were identified as Abdul Qadirbhai Mohammed Hussain Bhanpurwala, Akhtar Abbas Ali, and Sadar Mohammed Hussain.

A video clip went viral on social media, showing the accused, Chetan Singh, standing near one of the victims and making controversial statements about the attack. He mentioned the involvement of Pakistan and criticised the media's coverage, while also expressing his support for political figures like Modi, Yogi, and Thackeray.

"... Pakistan se operate hue ye, aur media yehi coverage dikha rahi hai, unko sab pata chal raha hai ye kya kar rahe hain... Agar vote dena hai, agar Hindustan mein rehna hai to mai kehta hoon Modi aur Yogi, ye do hain, aur aapke Thackeray." Singh was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

Asaduddin Owaisi shared a part of the video on his official Twitter handle. It read, "One of the victims of #JaipurExpressTerrorAttack is seen in this video. He is struggling for his life."
