Saifullah Kasuri, the second-in-command of the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which is based in Pakistan, publicly boasted about his close connections to the Pakistani military in a terrifying video that has gone viral. Long-held suspicions of state-sponsored terrorism were confirmed when Saifullah Kasuri, the mastermind of the Pahalgam attack and deputy chief of Lashkar-e-Taiba, spoke to an enthusiastic audience from a raised platform at a school event decorated with red balloons. The video, which shows persistent threats against India, has been verified by intelligence sources, though the precise date is still unknown.

Kasuri did not hesitate. "The Pakistan Army invites me to lead the funeral prayers," he said to the crowd while perched confidently amid festive decorations and a partially visible school logo in the frame. "Do you know that India fears me too?" he taunted afterward. LeT's operational freedom in Pakistan, where the group has long been accused of receiving military patronage, is highlighted by this blatant admission that was caught on camera. It comes as no surprise to India, as New Delhi has consistently pointed out Pakistan's involvement in supporting terrorist groups that target Jammu and Kashmir.

The video shows Kasuri's unrepentant attitude and his hateful remarks about India. He is directly linked to the horrific Pahalgam massacre in Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 tourists were shot and killed, as LeT's deputy chief. His public attendance at what looks to be a civilian school function represents a risky normalization of terror ideology that could brainwash young people.

Kasuri's rhetoric is based on a cycle of violence, not just bluster. Six months ago, India launched Operation Sindoor, a precision counterterrorism campaign, in response to the Pahalgam attack, which he assisted in planning. Although intelligence reports now warn of a backlash, this operation was intended to target terror infrastructure. LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), two organizations supported by Pakistan, are allegedly organizing for a new round of attacks on Jammu and Kashmir.

Sources indicate a "dangerous surge" in activities since Operation Sindoor, with militants regrouping under military cover. Kasuri's speech, laced with anti-India poison, fits this pattern, rallying supporters and signaling escalation. It's a grim reminder of how terror outfits regenerate, often with impunity across the border.

These developments have been described by New Delhi as a "grave warning." Northern Command's intelligence networks and the Indian Army are on high alert, searching every area for plots or infiltrations. Pakistan has received a strong warning from officials: stop the "export of terrorism," or else suffer the repercussions.

According to Indian briefings, "Any unchecked continuation will trigger the next phase of Operation Sindoor," according to sources. This isn't saber-rattling; rather, it's a pledge supported by recent achievements that highlights India's determination to destroy terror safe havens. Kasuri's video is used as exhibit A in the case against Pakistan's complicity as tensions rise.
