Analysed 16 Oct 2026·3 sources analysed·Hyderabad, India·Politics
Owaisi Criticizes Elon Musk's Comments on India's Starlink Approval DelayPreviousNext

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticized Elon Musk's public complaints about delays in launching Starlink in India, asserting that a foreign businessman should not dictate India's political or resource decisions. While Owaisi maintains his opposition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he defended the government's stance on national interests, urging Modi to respond firmly to Musk. The controversy has sparked political debate, with opposition leaders using Musk's remarks to question the government's ties with industrialists, while Owaisi framed it as a test of nationalist credentials.
