Pakistan’s UN-designated Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Muzammil Haazmi claimed that the terror outfit played a key role in toppling the Sheikh Hasina government in August last year. While addressing a gathering in Pakistan’s Gujranwala, he spewed venom against India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

Haazmi vows to defeat India following Operation Sindoor

A video of his speech was shared by Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, where Haazmi can be heard saying that his outfit was behind Sheikh Hasina’s government removal that was inclined towards India. He vowed that they would defeat India on all fronts. Haazmi’s frustration was seen in the video after India Launched Operation Sindoor while targeting nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir on May 7. 

LeT claims role in Hasina’s fall

Haazmi claimed that LeT played a key role in toppling Sheikh Hasina’s government. In response, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury stated that the LeT is funded by the CIA and Pakistan, adding that he was not surprised by Haazmi’s claim regarding Sheikh Hasina’s removal.  Bangladesh garnered more support from Washington and Islamabad after Sheikh Hasina’s exit. 

In the video clip, Haazmi said, “We did not fear missiles, so why would we fear bullets? India has attempted to intimidate us, but we were never afraid in the past-and we won’t be afraid now.”

Operation Sindoor

India on May 7 executed Operation Sindoor, in which nine terror sites deep inside Pakistan were destroyed in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 innocents were killed. Indian Armed Forces successfully struck nine terror targets, four in Pakistan, including Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Sialkot, and five in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), using special precision munitions in a coordinated operation.
