BJP MP Ghulam Ali Khatana said that India's counter-terror policy under the Narendra Modi government has been to target terrorists and not the countries.
In the speech, Azhar outlines how women will be recruited, trained, and used as part of his long-term “global jihad” vision, drawing direct parallels between the new women’s structure and JeM’s long-running male training programme.
In a rare admission, JeM commander Masood Ilyas Kashmiri confirmed that Indian forces dealt heavy losses to Masood Azhar’s family during the May 7 Bahawalpur strikes under Operation Sindoor. The coordinated Army, Navy, and Air Force operation targeted JeM, LeT, and Hizbul Mujahideen facilities in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday warned Pakistan that Operation Sindhoor was just a pause and if Pakistan repeated its mistake, it would not get even a chance to recover.
Five of the terrorists killed in India’s precision strikes on nine terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on May 7, as part of Operation Sindoor, have been identified. Among them are two individuals reportedly closely related to Maulana Masood Azhar.
The reports come as India recently declared JeM chief Masood Azhar and three others are terrorists under the Unlawful Activities Prevention (Amendment) Act.
All of the four individuals are involved in terrorist attacks in India and have been designated as global terrorists under the United Nations, an MHA statement said on Wednesday.
The move comes days after the anti-terror Unlawful Activities Prevention (Amendment) Act (UAPA) Bill, 2019 seeking to designate individuals suspected to have terror links as 'terrorists', was passed in the Rajya Sabha.
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has found that Pakistan was non-compliant on 32 of the 40 compliance parameters of terror financing and money laundering.
The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the Unlawful Activities Prevention (Amendment) Bill with 284 votes in its favour.
