In video shared by Hasina's son, LeT terrorist claims role in her ouster & ‘Modi's defeat in Bangladesh'
'Modi tu janta hai humne pichle saal tujhe bangladesh me shikast di (Modi, you know we defeated you in Bangladesh last year)?' he says. In a viral video doing the rounds on social media, the US-designated terrorist is purportedly seen claiming that the LeT 'defeated Modi in Bangladesh' last year. New Delhi: At a rally in Gujranwala, Pakistan, Wednesday—marking the 27th anniversary of the country's nuclear weapons acquisition—senior Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Muzammil Hashmi claimed a role in the ouster of Sheikh Hasina as Bangladesh's prime minister in July 2024. ThePrint has not independently verified the authenticity of the video. The video was shared by Sajeeb Wazed Joy, Sheikh Hasina's son, and later by former Pakistani diplomat Husain Haqqani. 'The rhetoric of Jihadi extremists at their public rallies makes it difficult for the rest of the world to believe official assertions that Pakistan is no longer sponsoring or tolerating them,' Haqqani wrote on X. The rhetoric of Jihadi extremists at their public rallies makes it difficult for the rest of the world to believe official assertions that Pakistan is no longer sponsoring or tolerating them. — Husain Haqqani (@husainhaqqani) May 30, 2025 This video follows Bangladesh interim legal adviser Asif Nazrul's reported meeting with Harun Izhar, chief of LeT's Bangladesh module, just hours after the Pahalgam terror attack in India. According to local media, the meeting took place at the Ministry of Law, Dhaka. The report was first shared by Sajeeb Wazed Joy, Sheikh Hasina's son. Izhar, linked to numerous terror plots, including a 2009 plan to attack the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, was reportedly also accompanied by several LeT operatives. At the Gujranwala rally, Hashmi can also be heard delivering a fiery speech aimed at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying, 'You try to scare us with your bullets, Modi. Here's our message: Our children aren't afraid of your missiles—why would we fear your bullets?' 'Your predecessors could not intimidate us, and neither will you,' he says. 'Look at the history of Hindustan and your forefathers. They have always bowed before us—and so will you.'

According to a report by The Times of India, the rally took place on Wednesday and Kasuri was flanked by Pakistani security forces, fellow terrorist commanders and officials of Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, reflecting how close the Pakistani establishment is to terror groups in the country. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD According to TOI, during his rally, Kasuri boasted about the fame he witnessed following the attack. 'I have become more famous since being accused of the attack,' he gloated, as per the report. Kasuri was also sharing the stage with US-designated terrorist Talha Saeed, son of Lashkar chief Hafiz Saeed, along with Malik Ahmad Khan, who is the speaker of the Punjab assembly. During his address, Kasuri also lauded Pakistan's so-called Bunyan al-Marsoos operation, which was launched in retaliation for India's Operation Sindoor.

The speeches appeared to be meant to rally members of the jihadi outfit after India's successful precision strikes on the Lashkar headquarters in Muridke which killed several terrorists. In an apparent reference to PM Narendra Modi's remarks a few days ago, Kasuri said they were not afraid of bullets. Kasuri makes provocative remarks against PM Modi While spewing venom against India, Kasauri also made inflammatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 'Narendra Modi samajhta hai hum goliyon se darne wale hain? Ye uski bhool hai (Modi is mistaken if he thinks we are scared of bullets),' he said. The remarks were seen as the LeT terrorists' response to PM Modi's speech at the Bhuj rally earlier this week, in which he said that 'Pakistan should be ready to face India's bullets if it did not stop using terror as a weapon.' Earlier, Kasuri had claimed that he played no role in the Pahalgam terror attack that led to the death of 26 tourists in Kashmir. In his address, Kasuri also lauded Pakistan's cyber team for 'targeting' India's critical infrastructure of communications and railways, a claim which has already been proven wrong by the Indian authorities. In the past, Kasuri was the president of the Milli Muslim League and also served on the Jamaat-ud-Dawa's coordination committee, the 'charity' wing of Lashkar. Since the Pahalgam attack, the outfits have conducted several public rallies to gather funds in the name of supporting the so-called 'jihad in Kashmir,' TOI reported. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Flanked by ISI men at Lahore rally, Pahalgam attack plotter says he is ‘more famous now'
Security personnel rush to the spot after terrorist attack in Pahalgam. (PTI file photo) NEW DELHI: Top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander and one of the plotters of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack Saifullah Kasuri made inflammatory remarks against India at a rally in Lahore on Wednesday. Surrounded by Pakistani security forces, fellow terrorist commanders and officials of Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, Kasuri seemed to relish the infamy he had attracted for the massacre of innocent civilians marked out on the basis of their faith. "I have become more famous since being accused of the attack," he gloated, as per information reaching here. Kasuri, who had earlier disclaimed responsibility for the slaughter in Pahalgam, was sharing the stage with US-designated terrorist Talha Saeed, son of Lashkar chief Hafiz Saeed , along with Malik Ahmad Khan, speaker of the Punjab assembly - something that once again laid bare Pakistan's claim of having taken action against terrorists. Talha publicly lauded Pakistan's so called Bunyan al-Marsoos operation, in retaliation to India's Operation Sindoor. "Allah loves those who engage in jihad," he said while Kasuri and others cheered. The speeches appeared to be meant to rally members of the jihadi outfit after India's successful precision strikes on the Lashkar headquarters in Muridke which killed several terrorists.

Addressing at a rally at Bhuj earlier this week, the PM had said Pakistan should be ready to face India's bullets if it did not stop using terror as a weapon. Kasuri had earlier claimed that he had no role to play in the Pahalgam carnage. On Wednesday, he was all fire and brimstone. While claiming that Pakistan had avenged the 1971 war and the vivisection of Pakistan by the then PM Indira Gandhi, Kasuri went on to praise Pakistan's cyber team for 'targeting' India's critical infrastructure pertaining to communications and railways. During the rally, he also referenced the upcoming elections and asked the people of Kasur (his hometown) if they'd support him running against Modi in the next election. He styled himself as a thorn in India's side. "Main rehta hun Hindustan ke dil me kaante ki tarah. Apne rab ka shukr karta hu. Agla election Modi ke muqable mai na lad lun," he said. He also said that India had tried a lot to isolate Pakistan and specific individuals, but now it was they who stood isolated. Kasuri was spotted in Kanganpur army base in Punjab in the run-up to the Pahalgam attack where he exhorted Pakistani soldiers and spewed venom against India. On Hafiz Saeed's instructions, Kasuri, Talha and Sheikh Sajjad Gul of The Resistance Front are learned to have sent in highly trained terrorists for a "spectacular attack' in Pahalgam. Kasuri, who was earlier president of Milli Muslim League, was also part of Jamaat-ud-Dawa's coordination committee, the 'charity' wing of Lashkar. Since the Pahalgam attack, the outfits have intensified public rallies to gather funds in the name of supporting the jihad in Kashmir.

Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi, who is part of the all-party delegation led by the BJP MP Baijayant Panda, said, 'When this person (Asim Munir) was made a Field Marshal in Pakistan, a US-designated terrorist called Mohammad Ehsan was sitting right beside the Field Marshal' read more A man carries a portrait of Pakistani army chief General Syed Asim Munir, during a rally to express solidarity with Pakistan's armed forces, in Islamabad. This week, Munir became only the second in the country's history to be elevated to Field Marshal. AFP The Indian delegation in Riyadh said on Thursday that Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir 'shook hands' with a US-designated terrorist during a past event, adding that there is evidence that the neighbouring country is involved in terrorism. Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi, who is part of the all-party delegation led by the BJP MP Baijayant Panda, said, 'Pakistan must be brought back to the FATF grey list. That is where we will be able to control this terror financing of all these terrorist organisations.

Earlier this week, Munir, who has been raised to the ranks of Field Marshal , hosted a 'victory' dinner for the government where he presented a picture supposedly depicting his army's actions against India under Operation Bunyanum Marsoos to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Talking about this and mocking the duo, Asaduddin said, 'Yesterday, the Pakistani Army chief gifted a photo to the Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif…these stupid jokers want to compete with India, they had given a photograph of a 2019 Chinese Army drill claiming it is a victory over India. This is what Pakistan indulges in. Nakal karne ke liye akal chahiye'…inke pass akal bhi nahi hai (it takes brains to copy… and they don't even have that).'

Owaisi exposes Pakistan's false propaganda in Saudi: ‘There are 240 million proud Indian Muslims'
AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi strongly criticised Pakistan for supporting terrorism and spreading false narratives about Indian Muslims in Saudi Arabia. He refuted Pakistan's claims that it represents all Muslims, stating that India is home to a large, proud Muslim population. "There are 240 million proud Indian Muslims living in India, this is Pakistan's false propaganda that India is hurting them. This is the most unfortunate that Pakistan gives out a wrong message to the Arab world and the Muslim world – that we are a Muslim country and India is not," Asaduddin Owaisi added. He urged Pakistan to dismantle extremist groups, saying it would help bring peace to the region. "If Pakistan stops these takfiri terrorist groups, there will be stability in South Asia, there'll be progress in South Asia," he added. Owaisi further called on the international community to put Pakistan back on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, a move that would increase scrutiny on Pakistan's financial system to prevent the funding of terrorist groups. He further warned Pakistan against training terror groups and trying to stir up religious tension in India, saying, "The whole task is to destabilise India, to create more Hindu-Muslim riots." Owaisi further exposed Pakistan by showing a photograph of Pakistan's army chief sitting next to a US-designated terrorist, "When this person (Asim Munir) was made a Field Marshal in Pakistan, a US-designated terrorist called Mohammad Ehsan was sitting right beside the Field Marshal. There are photographs of him shaking hands with this field marshal," he said. The AIMIM chief is part of a multi-party Indian delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda, which is visiting several Gulf countries. The Indian delegation includes MPs from various parties, including BJP's Nishikant Dubey, Phangnon Konyak, and Rekha Sharma, along with AIMIM's Owaisi, independent MP Ghulam Nabi Azad, Satnam Singh Sandhu, and Ambassador Harsh Shringla. The delegation aims to inform Gulf countries about India's counter-terrorism efforts and respond to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam. The delegation's goal is to counter misinformation about India's treatment of Muslims and promote its strong stance against terrorism.
