Owaisi Dares PM Modi
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi had earlier said that if US President Trump can capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from the latter's country, then Prime Minister Narendra Modi can also give a go-ahead for an operation which will help bring back the mastermind of the 26/11 terrorist attacks to India from Pakistan.
