New York/New Delhi: An anti-India speech by Pakistani Senator Rana Mahmood-ul-Hassan from American soil has sparked outrage.
He was speaking at a Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) USA event in New York City, during which he spewed venom against India.
Filled with sharp anti-India remarks, repeated references to Kashmir, and praise for Pakistan’s military response during the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict, the speech triggered strong reactions across social media and political circles, as reported by Financial Express.
US-based political commentator and journalist Amy Mek shared a long thread on X on May 19, describing the address as “a direct threat from Pakistan on US soil.”
The Pakistani politician addressed the event, titled “Maarka-e-Haq, for nearly an hour repeatedly targeting India while praising Pakistan’s army and political leadership.
The speech contained “open threats of annihilation, celebration of crushing India, and calls to fight on every front until Kashmir is resolved”, Men’s post reveals.
In one part of the address, Hassan reportedly spoke about Pakistan’s population growth and claimed the country would eventually overtake the United States in numbers.
One of his most controversial remarks from the event was: “Na samjhoge to mit jaoge Hindustan walon… tumhari dastan tak na hogi dastanon mein.” The line roughly translates to: “If you do not understand, you Indians will be wiped out… your story will not even remain in history.”
“Kashmir ka masla jab tak hal nahi hoga… hum har mahaz par ladenge,” he said, which translates to: “Until Kashmir is solved, we will fight on every front”, the Pakistani senator goes on to say.
Hassan goes on to mock Indian diplomats and glorify Pakistani soldiers allegedly preparing for battle.
Mek, in her post, alleged that the Pakistani senator was “trying to radicalise the Pakistani diaspora right here in the United States.” She also questioned why such political events were being allowed on American soil.
“This is not an American senator. This is a senior Pakistani government figure from a terror-exporting state openly threatening our democratic ally India while standing on American soil,” Mek wrote. Further, she tagged several US agencies and officials in her thread, including the US State Department, Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and the President of the United States.
Demanding action against the senator, she wrote: “America should not be the launchpad for Pakistan’s threats against India.
Several social media users demanded stricter scrutiny of Pakistani political figures entering the US, while others called for deportation or legal action against the senator, after going through her post.
