Weve Avenged 1971: Pakistan Militants Claim Role In Sheikh Hasinas Ouster
Bangladesh Protests Pakistan Role: After former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ouster, Bangladesh became a global talking point. Now, with Yunus at the helm, perceived as anti-India and pro-Pakistan, Pakistan has made a sensational revelation. Hafiz Saeed's Jamaat-ud-Dawa leaders, Saifullah Kasuri and Mujammil Hashmi, claim they orchestrated Hasina's downfall.
Kasuri stated that he was just four years old when Pakistan was defeated in 1971, and India liberated Bangladesh.
Kasuri said, "I was just four years old when Pakistan broke apart in 1971, and Indira Gandhi said that we had sunk the two-nation theory in the Bay of Bengal. But on May 10, 2024, we avenged 1971."
However, he claimed that on May 10, 2024, they avenged that defeat by fueling student protests that led to Hasina's ouster. Hashmi added that they defeated India in Bangladesh, and relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh have improved significantly since Hasina's departure.
Mujammil Hashmi said, "We defeated India in Bangladesh." He also stated that relations between Bangladesh and Pakistan have improved significantly since Hasina's ouster. Kasuri mentioned the death of his associate, Mudasar, who was killed in an airstrike by the Indian Air Force in Muridke on May 7. Kasuri said that he was not allowed to attend Mudasar's funeral, but high-ranking officials from the Pakistani army and administration attended the funeral in front of cameras.
The leaders also mentioned the killing of their associate, Mudasar, in an Indian airstrike in Muridke. Kasuri expressed frustration over not being allowed to attend Mudasar's funeral, while Pakistani officials attended.
Pakistan is reportedly pleased with Yunus's government, which took over after Hasina fled to India amid mass protests on August 5, 2023. Despite internal instability in both countries, terrorist leaders are making statements to assert their influence.

Gujarat Govt working on Operation Sindoor memorial park near Pakistan border: Report
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Gujarat is working on a memorial park dedicated to Operation Sindoor — India's precision strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir after the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack. The memorial park – a mark of respect for the defence forces – coming up in Kutch district on the India-Pakistan border – will be called 'Sindoor Van' (forest), according to a report in The Indian Express. The Kutch district of Gujarat was most affected by attacks from Pakistan. The memorial is expected to be completed in about a year and a half, and the work has already begun on the ground, the report quoted officials. 'In memory of the unity exhibited by society, Army, Air Force, BSF and other forces during Operation Sindoor, the Sindoor Van — a memorial park — is being planned by the forest department,' Kutch Collector Anand Patel told The Indian Express. India carried out precision strikes under Operation Sindoor on nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, on 7 May in response to the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, mostly tourists in Jammu and Kashmir. Following the Indian action, Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on 8, 9 and 10 May. The Pakistani attempts were strongly responded to by the Indian side by inflicting heavy damages to a number of key Pakistani military installations including air bases, air defence systems, command and control centres and radar sites. In memory of the unity exhibited by society, Army, Air Force, BSF and other forces during Operation Sindoor, the Sindoor Van — a memorial park — is being planned by the forest department. The memorial park will spread over eight hectares of land owned by the state forest department in Mirzapar on the Bhuj-Mandvi road. The land includes the part where Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a public meeting on 26 May during his first visit to Gujarat after Operation Sindoor. The park will also have an area dedicated to the victims of the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack. Three of the 26 Pahalgam victims were from Gujarat.

Shashi Tharoor shuts down Trump's India-Pak claim with a flourish: ‘No one needed to persuade us'
Shashi Tharoor shuts down Trump's India-Pak claim with a flourish: 'No one needed to persuade us' "We have enormous respect for the American presidency, and we will speak with that respect in mind. But broadly speaking, our understanding is a bit different... No one needed to persuade us to stop. We had already said to stop. If there was any persuasion by the American president or his senior officials, it would have been persuasion of the Pakistanis. They would have had to be persuaded. We don't need to be persuaded because we don't want war. We want to focus on development. That's the basic message," says Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, as the delegation he is leading will be in the US for its last leg of the visit. More details are being added.
