Masood Azhar Delivers First Speech in 20 Years: Calls for Jihad, Targets India and Israel

Maulana Masood Azhar, the mastermind behind the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the 2019 Pulwama bombing that killed 40 Indian paramilitary personnel, has resurfaced after two decades of silence. Azhar, a globally designated terrorist and the leader of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), delivered a rare public address via an online platform associated with the terror group.

In his speech, Azhar issued a chilling call for renewed jihadist campaigns against India and Israel, aiming to establish a global Islamic order. Though the exact date and location of the address remain undisclosed, references to the ongoing Gaza conflict provide a clear timeframe, making this his first verifiable statement in over 20 years.

Azhar Targets Modi, Netanyahu, and Calls for Babri Masjid “Reclamation”

During the speech, Azhar made incendiary remarks, saying, “India, your death is coming.” He criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing them as “weak” and “mouse-like,” respectively. Azhar invoked the Babri Masjid issue, asking, “Are there not even 300 people who can fight to reclaim my Babri Masjid?”

Blaming “fearful rulers” and a lack of commitment to jihad for defeats in Kashmir, Palestine, and other Muslim regions, Azhar urged his followers to join Jaish-e-Mohammed in a prolonged struggle to restore the caliphate. He accused global powers of perpetuating Muslim oppression and declared, “America will not rule the world forever.”READ THIS- Five Maternal Deaths in BIMS: Shocking Revelations, Government Announces Compensation
