LeT Deputy Claims Pakistan Army Invites Him To Lead Soldiers' Funerals In Viral Video

Indian outlets are citing the school speech as fresh evidence of a terror–army link.

Overview

  • Saifullah Kasuri, described by Indian reports as Lashkar-e-Taiba's deputy and an accused Pahalgam attack mastermind, says he receives formal invitations from the Pakistan Army, including to lead funeral prayers.
  • Speaking to schoolchildren in Pakistan, he asserted that India is "scared" of him and said New Delhi erred by targeting only terror sites during Operation Sindoor.
  • Several publications note they could not independently authenticate the undated video circulating on social media.
  • Coverage citing an intelligence dossier reports LeT is demolishing and rebuilding its Markaz Taiba complex in Muridke, with work reportedly accelerated before February 5, though details remain limited and unverified.
  • India launched Operation Sindoor after the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam killings, and reporting says IAF strikes heavily damaged LeT infrastructure before a May 10 understanding paused hostilities.
