Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) deputy chief Saifullah Kasuri has issued a direct threat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India, warning of dire consequences. Speaking at a public gathering in Bahawalpur, Kasuri said, “We are in difficult times, but our spirits are high. We are soft like silk for our people, but beyond description for our enemies.”

Addressing PM Modi directly, he warned, “Narendra Modi, open your ears and listen carefully — the time is near when your rivers will be ours, your dams will be ours, and Jammu & Kashmir will be ours. You will have to face the consequences of your actions. We know very well how to protect Pakistan and take revenge on our enemies.”

Kasuri also declared that LeT will not lose its willpower and will retaliate “aggressively” against its adversaries. He sought public support from those present at the event to back his group’s actions.

Indian intelligence agencies identify Kasuri, also known by the alias Khalid, as a key LeT field commander with a history of masterminding cross-border terror operations. He is considered one of the most trusted figures within the LeT hierarchy.

Meanwhile, another video is going viral on social media, showing top Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) commander Masood Ilyas Kashmiri admitting that JeM chief Masood Azhar planned terror attacks from Pakistan after being released by India following the Kandahar hijacking.

The video also references the death of Masood Azhar’s family members during India’s Operation Sindoor earlier this year.

The statements from Kasuri and Kashmiri have sparked renewed concerns about Pakistan-based terror groups planning escalated attacks in the region.
