India’s Operation Sindoor Targets Terror Infrastructure in Pakistan, Avenging Decades of Attacks

New Delhi,  – India’s Operation Sindoor has been hailed by government sources as a decisive strike against Pakistan-based terrorism, delivering justice for some of the most notorious attacks in India’s recent history. Described as a powerful response to decades of terror orchestrated from Pakistani soil, the operation dismantled key terror infrastructure and neutralized several high-profile operatives linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), groups responsible for countless Indian casualties.

Among those eliminated were Mudassar Khadian Khas (alias Mudassar/Abu Jundal) of LeT, who managed operations at Markaz Taiba in Muridke, and Hafiz Muhammed Jameel of JeM, the eldest brother-in-law of JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar, who oversaw operations at Markaz Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur while playing a key role in youth radicalization and JeM’s financial activities. Mohammad Yusuf Azhar, another brother-in-law of Masood Azhar and a suspect in the 1999 IC-814 hijacking, was also killed, alongside Khalid (alias Abu Akasha) of LeT, known for orchestrating terror operations in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and Afghan arms trafficking, and Mohammad Hassan Khan, son of JeM’s PoK commander Mufti Asghar Khan Kashmiri, who planned attacks in J&K.

Operation Sindoor also targeted Abdul Rauf Asghar, a key conspirator in the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the 2016 Pathankot attack, and brother to Masood Azhar. Additionally, the operation destroyed terror camps linked to the 2008 Mumbai attacks, where Ajmal Kasab and David Headley were trained, ensuring such sites can no longer produce operatives of similar ilk. The strikes also addressed historical grievances, targeting networks involved in the 1999 IC-814 hijacking and the 2002 murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl, whose killers were tied to JeM and al-Qaeda.

Government sources emphasized that the operation not only avenged past atrocities but also significantly weakened Pakistan’s terror ecosystem, sending a clear message that impunity for such acts will no longer be tolerated.
