Indian podcaster
Ranveer Allahabadia
, better known by his nom de plume Beer Biceps Guy, made a passionate case for India's counter-terror operation,
Operation Sindoor
, during an appearance on
Piers Morgan Uncensored
, calling out Pakistan's long-standing terror complicity.
Holding up an image of Osama bin Laden, Allahabadia asked viewers to confront a reality long buried under diplomacy and denial. 'I hope everyone's able to see this person's face. He was found 800 metres from a military base in Pakistan. That's the face that the world recognises.'
Next, he held up an image of
Abdul Rauf
and added: 'This is the face that India recognises because it's most specific to our narrative. This man is a
UN-designated terrorist
being celebrated by the Pakistani military in the background. That's not the narrative that they give the Pakistanis. That's not the narrative that the world knows. But if you check with the UN, if you check with the US, they'll tell you that this is Abdul Rauf.'
Defending India's right to self-defence, Allahabadia went on: 'India's attacks were precision-oriented, moderate, and most importantly, they were simply a retaliation as they've always been. India has never been an aggressor in any of these situations. We export vaccines, we export philosophy, and we export engineers and leaders to the world. That's why our economy is 11 times the size of Pakistan's. But the Pakistani narrative is that, hey, look at these people. They're trying to get the world to sympathise with them.'
Who is Abdul Rauf?
Pakistan had claimed that the man leading the prayers was Abdul Rauf (circled), a preacher and member of Pakistan Markazi Muslim League. But it turns out that he was actually Hafiz Abdul Rauf — a 'specially designated global terrorist' by the US who is also on SDN (Specially Designated Nationals) list of the US govt (AFP photo)
Abdul Rauf Asghar is a senior commander of the Pakistan-based terrorist organisation
Jaish-e-Mohammed
(JeM) and the younger brother of its founder, Masood Azhar. A UN-designated terrorist, Abdul Rauf has been linked to some of the most audacious attacks on Indian soil, including the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the 2016 Pathankot Airbase assault. Widely believed to be the operational head of JeM, he has also been sanctioned by the United States Treasury Department under terrorism-related provisions.
Despite these international designations, he continues to live openly in Pakistan, with credible reports placing him at public rallies and fundraising events. His presence and protection by elements of the Pakistani state have long been cited as evidence of the country's complicity in harbouring terrorism. As Ranveer Allahabadia pointed out in his appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, 'This man is a UN-designated terrorist being celebrated by the Pakistani military in the background'—a reality that India has consistently tried to highlight to the global community.
Pak and Terror: An Internecine Love Affair
Pakistan's entanglement with terrorism isn't a bug in its foreign policy—it is the feature. From the mujahideen of the 1980s, whom the
ISI
trained with CIA funds, to the post-9/11 double game where the same agencies harboured and hunted terrorists based on convenience, the pattern is unmistakable.
Terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and the Haqqani Network were not rogue elements but strategic assets—used to bleed India, influence Afghanistan, and maintain leverage with the West. The ISI's doctrine of 'strategic depth' created a hydra of non-state actors that now even threatens Pakistan's own stability. And yet, successive governments in Islamabad have worn their duplicity like a badge of honour, calibrating violence while pleading innocence on the world stage. In no other nation has the line between statecraft and sabotage blurred so thoroughly.
