Owaisi’s Kuwait Visit: Nationalism or Nexus with the Underworld?**

When Asaduddin Owaisi, the firebrand Member of Parliament and chief of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), visited Kuwait recently, the official line projected it as a “nationalist mission.” The aim, as stated by sources close to the visit, was to *explain to the Gulf leadership India’s position on cross-border terrorism in Pahalgam launched by Pakistan*. But beneath the diplomatic sheen lies a far murkier trail.
Asaduddin Owaisi in Kuwait dining with 1993 Mumbai mastermind DAWOOD’s Guru M.HOSHDAR KHAN –
Dining with Shadows: The Hoshdaar Khan Connection
While in Kuwait, Owaisi was spotted dining with none other than **Mohammad Hoshdaar Khan**, a Hyderabad-born multi-billionaire with decades-old ties to the **Dawood Ibrahim underworld**. Khan, once a quiet financier of radical politics in Hyderabad, has been long suspected of acting as a **shadow operative**—his wealth, charm, and NRI status a perfect camouflage for high-stakes underworld dealings.
But who is Hoshdaar Khan?
* In the 1980s, Khan allegedly financed terror sympathizer **Salahuddin’s electoral campaigns** and provided covert backing to MIM operations from his palatial Banjara Hills residence—**a house now sold to the Taj Mansingh Hotel group**.
* His neighbor at the time? None other than **then Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu**.
* In his Kuwait avatar, Khan is known more for hosting cricket stars and Bollywood celebrities, but intelligence insiders suggest his sprawling mansion is a **safehouse and social hub** for **anti-India elements**, including proxies of Dawood Ibrahim.
1993 Mumbai Blasts – The Bloody Imprint
Let us not forget that Hoshdaar Khan has been **named in intelligence reports** as a major link between Bollywood’s criminal underworld and the financial logistics of the **1993 Mumbai serial blasts**. He is believed to have been a **mentor, strategist, and financier** to Dawood Ibrahim’s empire. And now, ironically, the man who calls himself a protector of Indian Muslims, **Owaisi**, is seen sharing bread and banter with him in Kuwait.
So what was this meeting about?
Is Owaisi a Messenger or a Mole?
If the Kuwait trip was to **highlight Pakistan’s hand in Kashmir terror**, why was Owaisi found **in the company of one of Pakistan’s oldest non-state actors operating from the Gulf**?
It raises troubling questions:
* Was Owaisi’s visit truly about India’s security interests, or a **backchannel negotiation on behalf of vested political interests** back home?
* Is he, knowingly or unknowingly, acting as a **broker between the Indian establishment and underworld-linked Congress operatives**?
* Or worse, is **Owaisi playing both sides**, spouting patriotism publicly while indulging in *cosy dinners* with anti-India forces behind the scenes?
The Threatening Silence
In a disturbing turn, **this writer was personally threatened by Hoshdaar Khan** last year for **exposing Congress links to the underworld** and for refusing to turn the pen against the BJP. The message was chillingly clear: **Write against Congress, and face the consequences.**
And now, the same man—nicknamed “**The Lion**” in Hyderabad’s underbelly for his influence and ruthlessness—is making a quiet comeback through **political soft power** and **NRI glamor**.

Conclusion: Smoke, Mirrors, and Dangerous Games
At a time when India’s internal security faces layered threats—from radicalization to geopolitical infiltration—it is dangerous for elected leaders to maintain *double identities*. Owaisi’s proximity to known underworld actors like Hoshdaar Khan calls into question the **real purpose of his Kuwait visit**.
Is this the nationalism he speaks of? Or is it a **sophisticated front for facilitating backdoor deals**, under the guise of Muslim representation?
The Indian public deserves answers—not soundbites.
