Owaisi is a part of one of India's seven multi-party parliamentary delegations visiting foreign capital to put forward India's position against terrorism.

In a strong statement aimed at exposing Pakistan’s alleged double standards on terrorism, Owaisi emphasised that it was Islamabad that had constantly fueled cross-border militancy, not suffered from it.

"Pakistan is an aggressor and not a victim. In today's meeting, we presented India's side. We told them that for many years, terrorists aided and trained by Pakistan have been carrying out terror attacks in India, and many people have lost their lives. We gave them all the data. Be it Mumbai blast, train blast, suicide attack in front of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, Pulwama, Pathankot attack," Owaisi said.

Speaking after the delegation met with Bahraini officials, Owaisi stressed that destabilising India through such acts of terror is not just a threat to one nation, but a danger to the entire South Asian region.

"We told them (the Bahrain government) that the efforts being made to destabilise India are not right. Neither is it good for South Asia, nor the region. They also said that many people from different parts of India live here, so they all agreed that the people of India have made a huge contribution here. We also put forward our point," he added.

Other members of the delegation include BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, BJP MP Phangnon Konyak, BJP MP Rekha Sharma, BJP MP Satnam Singh Sandhu, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and former Indian diplomat Harsh Shringla.
