Vijayapura: AIMIM president and Parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi has said that BJP Vijayapura legislator Basangouda Patil Yatnal’s repeated reference to Pakistan in his speeches merely reflected his love for Pakistan.

Addressing reporters after campaigning for his party ahead of the Municipal Corporation election, Owaisi said that while nobody in AIMIM even mentions the name of Pakistan, Yatnal keeps speaking of our neighbor.

“I have no idea why Yatnal loves Pakistan to such an extent. He is probably following the orders of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to repeatedly mention Pakistan every time he speaks,” said Owaisi.

The MP also accused the BJP of getting commission in the matter of Halal. “There are videos of the BJP members receiving commission,” Owaisi charged.

Beijing (PTI): China, for the first time, has confirmed that it provided on-site technical support to Pakistan during the four-day conflict with India last year, official media reports here said.

China's state broadcaster CCTV on Thursday aired an interview with Zhang Heng, an engineer from the Aviation Industry Corporation of China's (AVIC) Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute, a key developer of China’s advanced fighter aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicle design.

Zhang had provided technical support to Pakistan during the four-day war last May, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported, quoting CCTV.

Pakistan's air force operates a fleet of Chinese-made J-10CE jets, produced by an AVIC subsidiary.

"At the support base, we frequently heard the roar of fighter jets taking off and the constant wail of air-raid sirens. By late morning, in May, the temperature was already approaching 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). It was a real ordeal for us, both mentally and physically,” Zhang said.

What drove his team was the "desire to do an even better job with on site support” and to ensure their equipment could “truly perform at its full combat potential”, Zhang told CCTV.

“That wasn’t just a recognition of the J10CE; it was also a testament to the deep bond we formed through working side by side, day in and day out,” he said.
