NEW DELHI: In a chilling display of their desperate desire to avenge the destruction they suffered during Operation Sindoor, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) top commander Abu Musa Kashmiri has been captured on video spewing genocidal venom against India and the Hindu community. Addressing a gathering of radicals in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, he told his followers their goals and independence would never be achieved through “begging” but by “slitting the throats of Hindus”, a statement that underscores the barbaric ideology fueling these dying outfits. Musa said he had informed the Wazir-e-Azam (Pakistani PM) the Kashmir issue can be resolved only through jihad and terrorism.“Azaadi bheek se nahi… Hinduon ki gardanein kaatne se milegi,” he said in a rally near LoC in Rawalakot’s Hajira Tehsil. Given the experience of such bellicose jehadi rhetoric turning out to be precursors to terror attacks, Musa’s remarks have captured the attention of the intelligence establishment. He had engaged in similar rhetoric before the Pahalgam attack, during which Lashkar terrorists massacred tourists after marking them out on the basis of faith.Musa’s speech comes at a time when visuals of another gathering have surfaced, showing top LeT commanders in Bahawalpur, a JeM stronghold. The timing of these outbursts is significant as they mirror the narrative being pushed by Pakistan Army chief, sources noted.
