Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay has threatened "surgical strike on intruders" in Old City ahead of the Hyderabad civic elections. "Intruders" was a reference to illegal Bangladeshis, Pakistanis and Rohingyas who allegedly live in the city. This has drawn sharp criticism from the ruling TRS and AIMIM. AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaddudin Owaisi has hit back, and dared the BJP-led NDA government to conduct "surgical strikes on Chinese PLA" which "occupied Indian territory."
