New Delhi : A senior Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist has directly implicated his boss Masood Azhar in planning and executing attacks in Delhi and Mumbai, shredding Pakistan’s repeated denials of sheltering terror groups on its soil. Masood Ilyas Kashmiri, a top commander of the UN-designated terror group, admitted in a video that Azhar, one of India’s most wanted terrorists, orchestrated terror attacks from Pakistan after being released by India after five years of imprisonment.

After escaping the prison of Tihar Jail in Delhi, Amir-ul-Mujahideen Maulana Masood Azhar comes to Pakistan. The soil of Balakot provides him a base to carry forward his vision, mission, and programme Delhi and Bombay [Mumbai]—this is how Maulana Masood Azhar, the Amir-ul-Mujahideen who terrorised the country, appears, Kashmiri is heard saying. Kashmiri’s remarks leave Islamabad with little room to deny the presence of terror sanctuaries.The Jaish commander openly credited Pakistan’s Balakot as a staging ground for Azhar’s campaign to wield terror against India, even invoking Osama bin Laden as a “martyr” who shaped the ideology.

In another bombshell, first reported by India Today on Tuesday, Kashmiri said that the May 7 strike on Jaish’s Bahawalpur headquarters, Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah, inflicted devastating losses, including the deaths of Azhar’s family members, who were “torn apart” in the bombing. Under Operation Sindoor, Indian forces destroyed multiple terror launchpads across the border and in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.

Another damning revelation had Kashmiri recount how the Pakistan Army’s brass ordered generals to attend funerals of slain Jaish terrorists in Bahawalpur. Videos had surfaced on social media in May of high-ranking Pakistani military officials leading the funerals of terrorists. India had lambasted Islamabad for giving state funerals to proscribed terrorists. Kashmiri claimed the directive came from Army Chief Gen Asim Munir to “honour” the terrorists killed in Indian airstrikes, lending further credence to what New Delhi has long maintained — that Pakistan’s military-intelligence nexus sponsors terrorism.
