Lashkar leader admits Indian agents killed over 30 LeT operatives in Pakistan since 2020

A senior operative, Rizwan Hanif, has claimed that more than three dozen terrorists linked to the outfit have been targeted and killed across several major Pakistani cities since 2020 by Indian agents, in what is being seen as a significant public admission from within the ranks of Lashkar-e-Taiba, according to a report by TOI.

Addressing a gathering in Pakistan, Hanif acknowledged that the terror group had lost more than 30 operatives in recent years. During his speech, he also launched a sectarian attack against other faiths while blaming foreign agents for the killings.

Hanif alleged that Indian intelligence agents were behind the targeted killings in multiple Pakistani cities and regions, including Peshawar, Karachi, Rawalpindi, Muzaffarabad and Rawalakot.


Addressing the crowd, he stated, "In the last four years, 30 of our people were killed by Indian intelligence agents—someone in Peshawar, someone in Karachi, someone in Rawalpindi, someone in Muzaffarabad, someone in Rawalakot."

"Our only crime is that we believe in La ilaha illallah. We are not people who worship Hanuman, Ghanshyam, or Hariram. This Hindu wants the cow to be worshipped, the Jew wants the calf to be worshipped, and as long as a servant of Allah—the last Muslim—is alive, he will never allow the cow and the calf to be worshipped," reported TOI quoting Hanif.

The hate-filled address, marked by deeply offensive and provocative remarks against other religions, once again underscores how terrorist organizations manipulate religious sentiment to incite hatred and radicalize the public.
