Pak Army Chief ordered soldiers to attend funeral of JeM terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor

After Indian missile strikes on JeM HQ, commander Ilyas Kashmiri claimed Pak Army Chief Asim Munir ordered troops to attend terrorists’ funerals, showing alignment of Pakistan’s military with jihadist ideology.

New Delhi: The terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22nd killed 26 people, mostly civilians. In response, India launched missile strikes on Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) targets in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor on May 7th. These attacks included the JeM headquarters in Bahawalpur.

Major loss to Masood Azhar's family

These attacks killed 10 family members and 4 close associates of JeM chief Masood Azhar. The deceased included Azhar's elder sister, brother-in-law, nephew, wife, niece, and five children. The mother of a close associate and two other associates was also killed in the attack.

Army Chief Asim Munir had ordered 'paying tribute.'

A JeM commander, Ilyas Kashmiri, claimed in a video that after the Indian attacks, Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir ordered the Corps Commander of Bahawalpur and soldiers to attend the funerals of JeM terrorists. This order was issued directly from GHQ Rawalpindi.

In the video, Kashmiri says, “After 25 years of struggle, we have brought Pakistan's Army, Air Force, and Navy to the jihadist ideology.”

Alliance between Pakistan Army and JeM exposed

Ilyas Kashmiri also said that there is no longer any difference between the Pakistan Army and JeM. He claims that the Pakistani Army and Air Force took revenge after the Indian attack. In the video, he says, "Those killed were JeM members, but the Pakistan Army and Air Force took revenge."

Speech at the Mission Mustafa Conference

This video is said to be from the Mission Mustafa Conference held in Punjab province on September 6, where the Kashmiri stood among gunmen. He said, "We waged jihad in Delhi, Kabul, and Kandahar to protect the moral and geographical borders of this country. Now, as a result of our sacrifices, the Pakistani Army is with us."

Bahawalpur becomes a stronghold of JeM

It is noteworthy that in 1999, Masood Azhar was released in exchange for the release of passengers from Indian Airlines Flight IC-814. Since then, JeM's headquarters in Bahawalpur has been active, and it has now become the target of India's attack.

Pakistan's double standards exposed

This development clearly demonstrates the deep ties between the Pakistani military and terrorist organizations. Organizations like JeM, whose activities are openly violent and anti-India, receive support from the Pakistani military—this is evident from statements made by the JeM commander himself.

Surgical strikes like Operation Sindoor carried out by India not only send a strong message against terrorism but also demonstrate that India is now on the path of direct and decisive action.
