‘Pahalgam Boosted Our Image Globally’: LeT Terrorist Exposes Direct Link As Pakistan Plays Peacemaker

In the video, Abu Musa Kashmiri can be heard crediting the attack for boosting ‘s global standing and said that it took the country “50 years forward”.

In a viral video, Musa says, “After Bunyan-un-Marsoos, Pakistan’s international image was boosted… I don’t know if the Pahalgam attacks were right or wrong… but the actions that followed in the form of Pakistan’s Bunyan-un-Marsoos, in response to India’s Operation Sindoor, which had failed miserably, have taken our country 50 years forward.”

The remarks come at a time when Pakistan attempts to play peacemaker, hosting ceasefire talks between the US and Iran to end the war in the Middle East. The comments also contradict Islamabad’s consistent denial of involvement in the terror attack. Pakistan had earlier rejected New Delhi’s accusations as “replete with fabrication,” while its armed forces maintained that India had failed to produce evidence.

In a global outreach in the aftermath of the attack, India had exposed Pakistan as a “rogue state” supporting terrorists and laid bare the country’s history of supporting and funding terrorist organisations.

Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor

India and Pakistan were locked in a brief but intense military confrontation in May, triggered by a terror attack in the Pahalgam valley of Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, which claimed 26 innocent lives.

Following the Pahalgam terror attack, India responded with Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Over 100 terrorists, including high-value targets like Yusuf Azhar, Abdul Malik Rauf, and Mudasir Ahmed, were successfully eliminated in the operation.

Inflicted by this heavy damage, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called the Indian DGMO and both sides agreed to stop all firing and military action on land, in the air and sea with effect from May 10.
