Hafiz Saeed, founder of the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba operating in Jammu and Kashmir, and his close associates have once again issued a provocative statement on India’s Operation Sindoor. In a video that went viral on social media, Pahalgam attack mastermind and Lashkar’s deputy chief Saifullah Kasuri claimed that Hafiz Saeed termed India’s continuation of Operation Sindoor as an ’empty threat’ and said that India would not dare to attack Lashkar-e-Taiba for the next 50 years.

Hafiz’s alleged statement in video
Saifullah Kasuri told that he had attended a Majlis one and a half month ago, in which Hafiz Saeed was also present. In that meeting, a Pakistani asked that India is continuously threatening, how should it be seen. Hafiz reportedly replied that there was no need to be afraid of India’s threats and that 6 months ago, Allah had shaken India so deeply that it would not dare to attack for the next 50 years.

Question on Pakistan’s claim
Pakistan has been claiming that Hafiz Saeed is in jail, but Saifullah Kasuri’s video revelation rejected it. It is seen in the video that the Lashkar leader is holding meetings openly. The United Nations has declared Hafiz Saeed a terrorist.

Strategy after Operation Sindoor
Kasuri said that after Operation Sindoor, Lashkar commanders met in Pakistan and made further strategy. He said that India had made a big mistake by targeting only terrorist hideouts in Operation Sindoor. Kasuri warned the world that he would not back down and would continue his agenda with the help of the people of Kashmir.

Provocative statements on Kashmir and other areas
Kasuri also claimed that India has occupied Muslim majority areas like Kashmir, Amritsar, Hoshiapur, Gurdaspur, Junagadh, Munavdar, Hyderabad, Deccan and Bengal, which are part of Pakistan. He said that this area has been taken from Pakistan and Lashkar will also take it to the United Nations.

Attack on India and international message
In the video, Saifullah Kasuri stressed that India made a big mistake and gave a message to the world that Lashkar-e-Taiba will not back down. He clarified that whoever has been banned or declared a terrorist is a warning that Lashkar will continue its agenda.

Nigeria Air Strike: America has carried out a massive air strike on ISIS terrorist bases in the north-western regions of Nigeria. The Nigerian government has issued its official statement regarding this attack.

The government said that it is continuously conducting security and intelligence cooperation with other international partners including the US to combat terrorism and violent extremism. Under this cooperation, terrorist targets in North West Nigeria were precisely targeted through air strikes.

Foreign Ministry issued statement

The Foreign Ministry said that this cooperation is taking place under international rules and bilateral agreements. This includes exchange of intelligence, strategic coordination and other necessary support. All these activities are being carried out in accordance with international law, respect for sovereignty and shared commitments to regional and global security.

The Government of Nigeria reiterated that the main objective of all counter-terrorism efforts is to protect civilians, protect national unity and protect the rights and dignity of all citizens. Terrorist violence against any community, regardless of one’s faith or ethnicity, is an affront to Nigerian values ​​and international peace.

Efforts to weaken terrorist networks

The Federal Government, along with its partners, is making sustained efforts to disrupt terrorist networks, disrupt their financing and logistics, and counter threats emanating from across the border. At the same time, Nigeria is strengthening its security institutions and intelligence capabilities. The Ministry of External Affairs said that this security and intelligence cooperation will continue and the public will be regularly informed through appropriate official channels.

It is noteworthy that Nigeria has been facing terrorist violence for a long time. The activities of groups linked to ISIS and organizations like Boko Haram continue in the northern and north-eastern parts of the country.

Airstrikes in Nigeria: America has conducted several deadly air strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria. US President Donald Trump has given this information. Trump alleges that these terrorist groups were targeting and killing Christians in the area.

Posting on his social media platform Truth Social, President Trump said that these air strikes were carried out on his orders. He wrote that the hideouts of ISIS terrorists operating in northwestern Nigeria were targeted. Trump said, ‘Tonight the Commander in Chief, on my instructions, targeted ISIS terrorists in northwest Nigeria.

Accused of targeting Christians

President Trump alleged that these terrorists were targeting and brutally killing innocent Christians. He said that such level of violence has not been seen in many years or even centuries. According to Trump, he had already warned these terrorists that if the killing of Christians did not stop, they would have to face serious consequences.

‘Warned’

Trump wrote in his message, ‘I had already warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the massacre of Christians, they would have to pay a heavy price and the same happened tonight.’

American army did a perfect strike

According to the President, America carried out many precise air strikes in this military operation. He said that the US Defense Department carried out this action. Trump wrote, ‘The Department of War delivered many perfect strikes, something only the United States can do.’

Strict stance against terrorism

Trump said that this action reflects his tough stance against terrorism. He wrote, ‘Under my leadership our country will not allow radical Islamic terrorism to flourish.’ Along with this, he praised the American Army and while wishing a Merry Christmas, he said, ‘God bless our army and Merry Christmas to everyone, even the dead terrorists, Merry Christmas.’ At the same time, the US Africa Command (US AFRICOM) has said that the action taken against ISIS in Sokoto, Nigeria (called ‘Soboto’ in the AFRICOM statement) was taken at the request of the Nigerian authorities.

The terrorist angle is now coming to light in the investigation of the horrific attack on Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Police have found an ISIS flag from the attackers’ car, after which the father and son of Pakistani origin are suspected to be linked to IS. However, the Australian Police has not yet made any official confirmation in this regard and the investigation is ongoing.

ISIS flag found in car
According to investigating agencies, an ISIS flag was recovered during the search of the vehicle linked to the attack. After this discovery, the entire matter is being looked at from the angle of terrorist attack and security agencies are investigating every link closely.

Doubt on Pakistani father and son
The attackers have been identified as 50-year-old Sajid Akram and his 24-year-old son Navid Akram. There have been reports of both of them being Pakistani citizens. Sajid Akram was killed in police action, while Naveed is admitted in hospital in critical condition and is under police observation.

Navid was already on the radar
According to sources, Navid Akram had come on the radar of Australian intelligence agencies a few months ago, but was released due to lack of sufficient evidence. Now, after getting clues related to ISIS, this aspect is being thoroughly investigated again.

Police did not officially confirm
Australian police have clarified that the direct link with ISIS has not been officially confirmed yet. Officials say that any conclusion will be reached only after the investigation is completed.

Investigation intensified from the angle of terrorist attack
After the recovery of the ISIS flag, the investigation has been intensified considering the case as an anti-Semitic terrorist attack. Inputs are also being taken from international agencies, so that the possible networks and contacts of the attackers can be ascertained.

A sensational audio clip of Masood Azhar, the leader of Pakistan’s terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed, is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In this audio, Masood Azhar himself is confessing for the first time that in the 1990s, he and his fellow prisoners were trying to escape from Jammu’s high security Kot Bhalwal jail by digging a tunnel.

Got tools and dug a tunnel in the jail

In the audio, Azhar tells in an emotional and scared tone that he got tools inside the jail and worked hard for several weeks to dig a tunnel. The tunnel was almost completed and the day of escape was fixed, but on that very day the jail authorities got wind of it. The plan failed completely and everyone was captured.

tied in chains after being caught

After being caught, Azhar and his associates were treated very badly. Azhar said that he and his companions were beaten so badly that the entire body was drenched in blood and swollen like a loaf of bread. As punishment, food was stopped, they were not allowed to go to the bathroom and they were kept tied with chains. The strictness in the jail was increased to such an extent that everyday life became very difficult.

mental stress of being caught

Referring to one officer, Azhar described him as ‘very strict’ and ‘cruel’. During interrogation he was tied with chains and continuously abused. The officer repeatedly asked about the tools and where they came from. Azhar said that the fear and mental shock of this incident is still with him. He cried while narrating these old memories and said that the fear of the jail officials still haunts him. During this, Azhar prayed for strength and survival.

Azhar had entered India using Portuguese passport

Masood Azhar was born on 10 July 1968 in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. Studied in a madrasa in Karachi and fought against Soviet forces in Afghanistan. Later joined Harkat-ul-Ansar organization. In February 1994, he came to India on a fake Portuguese passport and tried to spread jihad and recruit terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir. Was arrested in Anantnag and remained in jail from 1994 to 1999. First he stayed in Srinagar, then in Delhi’s Tihar and finally in Jammu’s Kot Bhalwal jail.

Got out of jail in exchange for flight hijacking.

After the hijacking of Indian Airlines flight IC-814 in December 1999, the Indian government released him in exchange for the release of the passengers. After being released, he formed the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist organization, which was responsible for the Parliament attack (2001), Pulwama attack and many other major terrorist incidents. He is India’s most wanted terrorist and the United Nations has declared him a global terrorist.

After this audio clip surfaced, Indian security agencies are investigating its authenticity.

National President of Jamiat Himayatul Islam Qari Abrar Jamal has made a scathing attack on Pakistan on the charge of making fun of Islam. He says that Pakistan has caused the most damage to the character of Islam in the world. Hearing what Qari Abrar has said, the ground will slip from under the feet of Asim Munir and Shahbaz Sharif. Kari Abrar Jamal has also reacted regarding the film ‘Dhurandhar’.

‘Pakistan has the most deceit and debauchery’

Qari Abrar Jamal said while talking to IANS that there is maximum deceit, debauchery, terrorism, bribery and corruption in Pakistan. Pakistan was established in the name of Islam, but there is no compatibility between Pakistan and Islam. In Islam, even excessive shedding of ablution water is not allowed, but Pakistan, formed in the name of Islam, is killing innocent people.

Pakistan accused of promoting terrorism

Accusing Pakistan of promoting terrorism, he said that Pakistan’s army gives protection to terrorists. If Pakistan is being exposed in any way, then there is nothing wrong in it. The real face of Pakistan should be brought before the people through any film, campaign, or any other means.

‘Pakistan is a stain on the name of humanity’

He also said that if people want to keep humanity alive then they should boycott Pakistan. Pakistan is not only a stain on the name of Islam but also a stain on the name of humanity. As long as Pakistan continues to move forward with its mentality, there will be terrorism in the world and a lot of bad things will continue to happen.

‘Pakistan-terrorism will have to be fought for peace’

Qari Abrar Jamal says that if peace is to be established in the world, then a long battle will have to be fought against Pakistan and terrorism.

Regarding the film ‘Dhurandhar’, he said that it is necessary to expose a country which is promoting terrorism day and night and giving protection to terrorists. If Pakistan has been exposed in the film ‘Dhurandhar’ then it is a good thing, but if a film is made against religion then it is not right.

‘There should be no debate on Vande Mataram’

He said that when we pray, we kiss the soil. It is the responsibility of all of us to protect this soil. One must love this soil. To live, to die for the country, and the nation is supreme – this should be everyone’s feeling. We should also give a lot to the country. When it comes to the country, one should sacrifice everything. He also said that if the safest place in the world for Muslims is then it is India.

Regarding Vande Mataram, Qari Abrar Jamal said that there should be no debate on Vande Mataram. Everyone should sing the national song. There should be no objection to this. Nothing can be greater than our country for us. If there is a nation then there is everything and if there is no nation then there is nothing. This is a democratic country, everyone has the freedom to live according to their religion, but if we are talking about the pride of this earth, then what is wrong in it?

Later experts recovered the data from the mobile.

Question 4- Where were the raids conducted and what was recovered?
answer- Raids were conducted at many places in the last 10 days. These raids were mainly to break the ‘white collar terror module’ associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed, which was operating from Al-Falah University as its base. The first raid-

• It happened on November 9, when Jammu and Kashmir Police and Haryana Police raided a rented house in Dhauj village of Faridabad. 350 kg of ammonium nitrate based explosives, assault rifles (AK series), handguns, timing devices and explosive materials were found from here.

answer- Between 10 and 19 November, the police found many evidences, which included CCTV footage, digital data, interrogation of the arrested accused and Omar’s video…

• 12 November 2025: The clearest CCTV footage of the blast was released. In this, the car stops at the red light at the Red Fort crossing and suddenly a red fireball is formed. Footage was found of Sunehri Masjid parking, in which the car entered at 3:19 pm and remained parked till 6:48 pm. Umar went to the mosque, came out and connected the detonator and drove away with the car, then detonated it.
• 13 November 2025: Found footage of Mewat Toll (Nuh, Haryana), in which Umar was seen driving a car early in the morning.

Question 6- What is the situation now at the place where the blast took place in Delhi?
answer- The blast site was cordoned off and the Red Fort metro station remained closed till 15 November, but has now opened. However, security has been increased. The entire country is on high alert and police and NSG teams are deployed at the site.

Question 7- After all, where did the police go wrong in this entire blast?
answer- In this entire conspiracy, the police made mistakes at 8 places…

1. Laxity despite finding 2900 kg of explosives: The quantity of ammonium nitrate found in Faridabad was so large that major attacks could have taken place in entire Delhi-NCR, but despite this, Delhi Police or IB did not issue any high alert. Umar entered Delhi from Faridabad on the morning of 10 November, but no checking was done.
2. Omar was allowed to roam in the VVIP zone: From morning to evening on 10 November, Umar roamed around without fear in the most sensitive areas like India Gate, Constitution Club, Sansad Marg, Red Fort and Jama Masjid. His entire route has been traced in more than 1300 CCTV cameras, but he was not stopped or identified at even a single place.
3. No action on Al-Falah University: This university was already considered a hub of radicalization. There were old cases against many teachers and students, but the local intelligence or Haryana Police did not keep any strict surveillance.
4. No monitoring of explosives supply chain: Ammonium nitrate was purchased from dealers in Mewat. How did such a huge quantity reach without any license or check? There was record of purchase and sale, but no alert was sent.
5. Ignored the input of Jammu and Kashmir Police: Jammu and Kashmir Police was already aware of this module as several arrests were made in October, but this input was not properly shared with Delhi Police or IB or action was not taken on it.
6. Movement of the blasted car not tracked: The white i20 car was registered in the name of Aamir Rashid Ali. The car came to Delhi from Faridabad, crossed several tolls, but there was no alert from FASTag or number plate. It could have been tracked as soon as it entered Delhi.
7. Lapse in High Threat Period: It was just after Diwali and before the anniversary of 26/11. The original plan was for 6th December (the anniversary of Babri demolition). Even during such a high threat period, there was less blockade or vehicle checking in the central area of ​​Delhi.
8. Zero monitoring of radicalized doctors: This was the first time when such an educated doctor was involved in the terrorist module. The focus of intelligence was always on madrassas or poor areas, there was no preparation for ‘white collar terror module’.

After the Delhi blasts, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India has the right to protect its people against terrorism. Speaking at the SCO meeting in Moscow, the External Affairs Minister said, “We should never forget that the SCO was established to deal with the three evils of terrorism, separatism and extremism. These threats have become more serious over the years. It is imperative that the world shows zero tolerance towards terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.”

India has every right to respond: Jaishankar

Foreign Minister Jaishankar bluntly said that India will respond strongly by continuing its action against terrorism. He advocated changes in the functioning of SCO. Referring to terrorism, he said, “There can be no justification, no condonation and no cover-up. As India has shown, we have the right to defend our people against terrorism and we will exercise it.”

‘There should be a change in the functioning of SCO’

He said, “India believes that the SCO should adapt to the changing global scenario, develop a comprehensive agenda and improve its functioning. We will make a positive and full contribution to these objectives.” External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar reached Moscow on Monday (17 November 2025) to participate in the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Addressing the SCO leaders, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar reiterated New Delhi’s long-standing call for united action against terrorism without any compromise. He said the fight against this threat should remain a shared priority. S Jaishankar’s statement has come to light after the recent terrorist blast in Delhi.

Bilateral talks with Russian Foreign Minister

As soon as he reached Moscow, S Jaishankar met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. According to the report of Russia’s government news agency TASS, bilateral cooperation as well as regional and global developments related to Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), BRICS, United Nations and G-20 were discussed between the two leaders.

Pakistan’s biggest weakness came to light in Operation Sindoor launched by India in May 2025. Its satellite surveillance network could not work in intense war-like situations. Pakistan Army could not get timely and clear satellite images to understand the ground situation. For this reason, many important moments of the war were missed by Pakistan. This weakness forced Pakistan to rapidly strengthen its space surveillance system.

Cooperation with China, Turkey and Europe
After revealing the weaknesses, Pakistan launched three new satellites in a few months. At the same time, it started trying to strengthen its surveillance capacity by increasing cooperation with China, Turkey, America and European companies.

January 2025: Two big satellites launched in three days
First Satellite -PAUSAT-1

Pakistan launched PAUSAT-1 from SpaceX’s Falcon-9 rocket. According to the report published in The Sunday Guardian, this 10U nano-satellite has been developed by Pakistan’s Air University in collaboration with Turkey’s Istanbul Technical University. It is equipped with high-resolution cameras and special sensors, which provide clearer data of land, crops and buildings. Pakistan is also getting indirect access to European technology through partnership with Turkey.

Second satellite- PRSC-EOL
On January 17, Pakistan launched a new Earth observation satellite named PRSC-EOL from China’s Jiuquan station. Although it is said to be ‘Made in Pakistan’, the design, technology and launch is done with the help of China. It is used in monitoring agriculture, cities and environment, but its military use is also clearly visible.

HS-1 was sent in October 2024
HS-1 is Pakistan’s first hyperspectral satellite, which was launched by China. It is capable of detecting hidden military bases, understanding airbase activities and detecting changes in infrastructure.

Why did Pakistan fail during Operation Sindoor?
During Operation Sindoor, Pakistan’s main military satellite PRSS-1 could capture clear images of Indian airbases – Pathankot, Udhampur and Adampur only once. After this, due to weather and orbit problems, no useful images were obtained for several hours. During this period, India made many changes, which Pakistan could not catch in time. An old satellite named PakTES-1A had already stopped functioning.

Ground system also weak, no backup
Pakistan has only two ground stations – Karachi and Islamabad. Karachi station remained closed for 18 hours during the floods of 2022, due to which the necessary photographs were delayed. The plan for a backup station in West Pakistan is still incomplete.

European pictures are available, but no control
Pakistan can order photos from Airbus and European companies, but cannot retask them immediately. European images were delayed by 36–48 hours during the Iran–Pakistan tensions in 2024. At the same time, China’s PRSS-1 can send fresh photos in about 4-6 hours. For this reason, China’s role still remains most important for Pakistan.

Preparation to launch SAR satellite by 2026–27
Pakistan now wants to build a SAR satellite that can take pictures even in clouds and at night. This technology gives real military surveillance capability to a country.
