There is a very imminent question related to Operation Sindoor in which Indian Armed Forces carried out missile attacks on nine locations inside Pakistan on 7 May 2025, martyring 31 Pakistanis and injuring more than 57. Interestingly out of nine targets five were Masjids (orthodox Muslim worship places). There was confusion that Operation Sindoor was launched due 22^nd April terrorist attack at Baisraintop, Pehalgam in Jammu and Kashmir as Indian National Investigation Agency (NIA), which officially took over the investigation, has not even yet finalized the investigation so how the Indian attacks on Pakistan can planned.

Indian officials at K Block in New Delhi disclosed that Operation Sindoor was linked with the confessions by Major Tahawar Hussain Rana, an Indian origin Canadian having Shiite and another minority family background in India and his American Christian friend, David Coleman Headley alias Syed Dawood Gilani whose father was Indian origin Pakistani Shiite while mother was an American Christian. Both was on Intelligence Bureau (IB) scanner since long as they had established offices in Mumbai and were involved in drugs and famous in Indian prostitutes and gays in Mumbai, India. It is important to recall that Tahawar Hussain was commissioned as doctor at Pakistan Army Medical Corps but absconded and fled to Canada in 1997.

Another Indian ACIO (Intelligence Bureau Assistant Central Intelligence Officer) who was at New Delhi disclosed that Indian Armed Forces carried out operation and destroyed camps where Ajmal Kasab and David Headley who were involved in Mumbai attacks of 26 November 2008, were given terrorist training. One wonders when Indian Intelligence confesses that both Tahawar Hussain and David Headley had links with Indian agencies as well as many time David Headley was imprisoned in USA on charges of carrying heroin drugs and also worked as agent of American Drug Enforcement Administration and sent to Afghanistan for intelligence, how these persons’ testimony can be accepted. More so, do Shiite and Christians can have any connections with Lashkar-e-Tayyiaba or Hizb-ul-Mujahideen for the freedom of Indian held Jammu and Kashmir state?

David Headlay’s mother was owner of Philly’s Khyber Pass Pub, New Orleans, Philadelphia and now Headlay is its owner. Should we believe that Muslims organizations like Lashkar-e-Tayyiaba or Hizb-ul-Mujahideen or Jaish-e-Mohammad can have anything to do with drugs, liquor, prostitution, and even if for a second we accept it for the sake of discussion, both these individual have either Christian cum Shiite parents or Shiite cum another minority group parents. This means we should also look for Christian and Shiite links with terrorist organization and plan some attacks there too? No doubt, Lashkar-e-Tayyiaba or Hizb-ul-Mujahideen or Jaish-e-Mohammad had nothing to do with terrorism. Yes! they attacked Indian Army in held Jammu and Kashmir in 1990s as Kashmir does not belong to India and is a disputed territory. India and the US must look for home grown terrorism whether it is 26 November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, which killed 166 people or Pahalgam attack of 22 April 2025, in which 28 innocent people were ruthlessness killed.

Major Tahawar Hussain is presently in custody of Indian NIA and is deserter from Pakistan Army since 1997, an India agent, and a criminal for whom there is reward on his arrest but pro-Indian lobby in Pakistan is silent spectator to please foreign masters. It is high time that Pakistani authorities should take up the case of judicial custody of Major Tahawar Hussain for his Field General Court Martial, take up case with UNO against India for attacking worship places inside Pakistan without lawful mandate from the UN and get the country declared as aggressor and terrorist, as well as stop getting dictations from foreign nations due to blackmail, allowing own people got killed. There are reports India and another nation are planning to attack Afghanistan which should not happen as it will destroy international peace. The UNO Secretary General Mr António Guterres is requested to carryout impartial and transparent investigation over Indian attacks on Pakistan, otherwise if unnoticed, tomorrow it will be taken as a precedent by other nations to attack sovereign nations.
