BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Thursday countered AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi's defence of the "patriotism" of Indian Muslims by asking him to think hard about the religion of those who oppose the Army by joining terror outfits. "Owaisi can count Muslims army men killed. But can he also count how many Muslims are in terrorists organisation attacking the army (sic)," the BJP MP said in a tweet. Swamy's question to Owaisi was the latest in a stream of backlash the AIMIM chief has faced for underscoring the fact that five of the six Armymen who laid down their lives in the Sunjuwan attack were Kashmiri Muslims.
