Owaisi Demands Action on 26/11 Masterminds
Asaduddin Owaisi, the leader of a political party in India, said that India should bring back the people responsible for the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, just like the US captured Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro.
The 26/11 attacks happened in 2008 and many people died.
Owaisi wants India to take action against Masood Azhar and other members of a group called Lashkar-E-Taiba, who are believed to be behind the attacks.
He made this demand around the time when elections for the Mumbai civic body are coming up.
The BJP leaders responded by saying that Owaisi is known for making sensational remarks and that India's policy is to target terrorists, not countries, and that India is a responsible nation that won't fall for provocation.
