Ceasefire Violations and Mistrust
The video starts by mentioning a ceasefire announced between India and Pakistan, which was revealed through a social media post by Donald Trump. However, Pakistan allegedly violated the ceasefire shortly after it was agreed upon. This incident highlights the difficulty in trusting Pakistan's army and government due to their history of supporting terrorism. The video references a previous discussion about the Pahalgam terrorist attack, for which the Pakistani terror group TRF claimed responsibility, leading to India's Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist sites in Pakistan. Pakistan retaliated by shelling civilian villages along the Line of Control (LoC), resulting in numerous casualties, including children.
Pakistan as a Sponsor of Terrorism
Pakistan is described as a state sponsor of terrorism due to its alleged attacks on civilians after Operation Sindoor. Specifically, it mentions the unprovoked firing on the LoC and the bombing of Indian civilian houses with mortars and shells, particularly in Poonch, where many people were killed and injured, including children. The video emphasizes the tragic loss of innocent lives, questioning whether a military that intentionally targets civilians should be considered a terrorist state.
India's Operation Sindoor and Terrorist Sites
The video details some of the nine terrorist sites attacked by India during Operation Sindoor. These sites include Markaz Taiba in Muridke, the headquarters of Hafiz Saeed, a UN-designated terrorist; Markaz Subhanallah, Masood Azhar's base; and the Syedna Bilal Camp in Muzaffarabad, where recruits of Lashkar and Jaish were trained by Pakistan's Special Forces. The remaining sites were initial induction, indoctrination, and training centers for terrorists. The video highlights that these terrorist attacks not only harm Indians but also many Pakistanis.
Terrorism's Impact on Pakistan
The video discusses the impact of terrorism within Pakistan, referencing the Peshawar School Massacre in 2014, where many innocent children were killed. It also mentions attacks by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on the Pakistan Army and Baloch insurgents, highlighting the internal strife and violence within Pakistan. The video underscores that if a place becomes a terrorist den, even children there would be unsafe.
Admissions and Denials by Pakistani Officials
Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif admitted that Pakistan has been backing, supporting, training, and funding terrorist organizations for the past three decades for the US, the West, and Britain, calling it a mistake. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan also admitted to the existence of Jihadi outfits since the US-led Afghan war against the Soviets. However, both officials deny the current situation, with Khawaja Asif claiming that Lashkar-e-Taiba no longer exists in Pakistan. This denial is contrasted by Shashi Tharoor's statement that Pakistan is a master of denial, referencing past denials of involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and knowledge of Osama Bin Laden's whereabouts.
FATF and Terrorist Activities
The video discusses the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and its role in monitoring global money laundering and terror financing. Pakistan has been on the FATF's Grey List multiple times and was removed in October 2022 after promising to take action against terror financing and money laundering. However, reports indicate that Jaish-e-Mohammad's base in Bahawalpur has doubled in size since 2011-12, with construction accelerating around the time Pakistan was removed from the Grey List. Additionally, Jaish-e-Mohammed gatherings were held for terrorist recruitment and fundraising, suggesting that terrorist activities continue despite promises to the FATF.
Jaish-e-Mohammad's Resurgence
Reports from late 2024 indicate that Jaish-e-Mohammad is resurging in Bahawalpur, with hideouts for indoctrination and training of terrorists run in plain sight, close to a Pakistan military base. Despite Pakistan's announcement after the 2019 Pulwama attack that the state would take over the administration of the Jaish-e-Mohammad headquarters, reports from 2022 reveal that Jaish-e-Mohammad bought more land and expanded their complex. Abdul Rauf, Masood Azhar's brother and a designated terrorist, was involved in these activities and was seen leading funeral prayers for slain terrorists, with Pakistani military personnel present and the coffins honored with Pakistan's national flag.
Evidence of Continued Terrorist Support
The video presents further evidence of Pakistan's continued support for terrorist organizations, including a children's magazine by Jaish-e-Mohammad promoting Jihad and construction on newly acquired land for terrorist activities. These findings support Shashi Tharoor's claims about well-known terror bases in Pakistan. The video also mentions Jaish-e-Mohammad holding public gatherings in POK and claiming responsibility for terrorist attacks, questioning how much more evidence the Pakistani government needs to acknowledge the continued activity of these organizations. The video urges viewers to tag FATF on Twitter with the link to the video, demanding that Pakistan be placed back on the Grey List.
IMF Loan and Lashkar-e-Taiba's Activities
The video criticizes the IMF for approving a loan package of $2.3 billion for Pakistan, with AIMIM leader Owaisi calling it the International Militant Fund. The discussion shifts to Lashkar-e-Taiba, highlighting the seizure of 2,900 kg of heroin worth ₹210 billion at Mundra Port in 2021, which was part of Lashkar-e-Taiba's narco-trafficking strategy to destabilize India and fund terror activities. Despite Adani Ports initially announcing a ban on handling container cargoes from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran, they withdrew their decision shortly after, and another heroin seizure occurred near Mundra Port in 2022.
Lashkar-e-Taiba's History and Operations
Lashkar-e-Taiba was formed in 1986 and has been responsible for numerous terrorist operations, including the Indian Parliament attack in 2001, the Mumbai local train bombings in 2006, and the 26/11 attacks. Pakistan has been favoring Lashkar from the beginning, with Lashkar terrorist David Headley coordinating with Pakistani intelligence officers for the Mumbai attacks in 2008. Lashkar-e-Taiba formed a charity wing, Jamaat-Ud-Dawa, but both wings were banned by the US, Australia, and the United Nations. Despite Pakistan banning Jamaat-ud-Dawa in 2019, it remains aligned with the nationalist-Islamist aims of Pakistan's security establishment and has been used to implement its agenda in Balochistan and fight the Islamic State in Pakistan.
Pakistan's Internal Situation and Call to Action
The video highlights Pakistan's dire internal situation, with the country ranking low on the Global Peace Index and experiencing a significant increase in terrorist attacks. The year 2024 has been the deadliest in the last 10 years for Pakistan's security forces, with a 40% increase in attacks. The video criticizes power-hungry politicians for starting conflicts with India and using it as an opportunity to become dictators, neglecting the constitution and democracy. The video also points out the economic struggles, with people dying while trying to get free flour, drawing a parallel to the French Revolution. The video calls for an end to religious fanaticism in politics and urges Pakistani celebrities to question their government about the support for terrorist organizations.
