New Delhi: In a bold and precisely executed military operation, Indian armed forces struck nine terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) early Wednesday morning in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians. The operation, codenamed Operation Sindoor, reportedly eliminated over 100 terrorists linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Hizbul Mujahideen.
The tri-service operation, involving coordinated action by the Army, Navy, and Air Force, lasted just 25 minutes and was aimed at crippling terror infrastructure operating across the border. Official confirmation of specific targets remains withheld, but sources indicate high-value militant hideouts and command centers were destroyed.
In a development that has raised eyebrows, several reports—including those from PTI and CNN-News18—suggest that Pakistani Army officers, police personnel, and civil officials were present at funerals of some of the terrorists killed in the Indian strikes.
One such funeral, held under tight security in Muridke, was reportedly for LeT operatives Qari Abdul Malik, Khalid, and Mudassir. The funeral was led by LeT commander Hafiz Abdul Rauf and attended by individuals linked to the banned Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD), including members of its political wing, the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League.

Footage circulating online shows coffins being carried in processions, some draped in Pakistani flags, with uniformed personnel—including army officials—participating. The presence of state functionaries at funerals of known militants has intensified questions about Pakistan’s continued support and shelter for terrorist elements operating from its soil.
While Pakistani authorities have officially denied involvement in the Pahalgam attack, their silence on reports of official presence at militant funerals adds to the growing international scrutiny over the country’s role in harboring and enabling terror outfits.
The terrorists are sent to the 72 ‘Hoors’. Jai Hind.
