Blatant Pakistani lying continues unabashed
A building destroyed by an Indian missile attack is seen in Muridke, Pakistan, on May 12, 2025
The Pakistani lies continues unabashed.
The administrator of an Islamic religious and educational complex in Pakistan has denied that the site is a terrorist hub, following a May 7 missile strike that killed three of its inmates, and called for peace and dialogue between the two nations……this after Pakistan has been supporting terrorism in India since several decades.
The facility in Pakistan’s Punjab province, was one of six sites targeted by Indian missiles and airstrikes that day. This attack was part of a declared reprisal by India on Pakistan-based terrorists for the April 22 shooting that killed 26 people in the UT of J& K. Now the terrorists will be attacked and destroyed no matter where they are hiding in this World. However this declaration was not taken seriously by Pakistan or for that matter even other major countries of the World.
Muhammad Azam, administrator of the facility run by a terrorist group with help of the Pakistani government, told Kyodo News how the Indian missiles struck a mosque used by the group members for prayers and residential quarters of the complex. The complex also includes primary and secondary schools, a seminary, a vocational center, dormitories and a clinic.
Even before the April 22 shooting, Indian government officials had informed all concerned that the complex was a hub for terrorists, specifically Lashkar-e-Taiba, the group responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed more than 170 people.
“We have no ties, direct or indirect, with any militant groups,” blatantly lied Azam.
This terror hub was located in Muridke, a town on the outskirts of Lahore, the 27-hectare compound houses 11 institutions, including two schools with 1,400 Islamist fanatic trainees and a seminary with 650 so called students.
The complex, formerly known as Markaz-e-Taiba, meaning “Center of Good,” was founded in 1987 by Chief terrorist Hafiz Saeed, co-founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Saeed has been imprisoned since 2019 on multiple convictions related to terror financing.
The Paki government took over the facility under its protection in 2019, renaming it “the Government Health and Education Complex” Sheikhupura and appointing 11 administrators to oversee its operations. Well change of name is an old game by the Pakis.
In the wake of the April 22 shooting that killed tourists in Pahalgam, in Kashmir, India as a declared mode of punishment carried out precision airstrikes on six terror sites in Pakistan, including the complex in Muridke. No Paki military site was targeted.
However Pakistan tried to retaliate with heavy artillery and mortar shelling on Indian villages along the Line of Control, which divides the Jammu & Kashmir with POK, and also launched missile and drone attacks on targets in India.
As a result nearly all major Pakistani airbases, 10 in number got hammered with precision strike by BRAHMOS and other precision missiles. Pakistan’s nuclear bluff was finely called by India.
Then on a frantic plea from Pak DGMO to Indian DGMO India accepted a cease-fire on May 10, Both countries are nuclear powers.
Despite the destruction of the mosque and parts of the residential buildings, Azam said the facility remains committed to its educational and humanitarian mission, with hopes of resuming operations after restoration work is completed. Pakistan can keep showing these sites to the rest of the world as “ civilian sites “ but the moment they continue with their terror activities, they will be flattened once again.
“I urge the Indian government to engage in dialogue (with the Pakistan government) and address contentious issues through peaceful means,” added, Azam. However for this Pakistan has to first denounce and eradicate all terrorism from its soil.
Pakistan had invaded Kashmir at the time of the partition of the subcontinent in 1947 itself. India last time had carried out an airstrike on Pakistan in 2019, targeting a major terrorist training camp in the Pakistani-Occupied Kashmir following a suicide bombing that killed 40 security personnel in Pulwama, Kashmir.
“Let’s not forget — war brings nothing but death and devastation. It’s time to break this cycle and restore normalcy for the people on both sides of the border,” Azam said.
Well Kyodo news must advise Azam that for talks, to go and elect a government first that eradicates terrorism from the soil of Pakistan.
