AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has taken issue with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval's recent remarks, challenging India's youth to 'avenge history.' Owaisi argued that Doval's understanding of history lacks depth.

Addressing a rally in Maharashtra amid municipal election campaigns, Owaisi referenced the Chola dynasty, asserting that Indian rulers historically extended their reach to regions like Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and other parts of Southeast Asia, countering Doval's claims.
