Hamas terrorists to participate in Lashkar-e-Taiba event in PoK

New Delhi – Pakistan-backed Jihadi terrorist organisations Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba are set to organise an event in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Hamas Jihadi terrorists from Gaza are also expected to attend this event, which will be held in Rawalakot. Posters featuring Hamas terrorist leaders have already been displayed in the area. The event, titled “Kashmir Solidarity and Hamas Operation ‘Al Aqsa Flood’ Conference,” will be held at Sabir Shaheed Stadium, with Hamas Spokesperson Khaled Qaddoumi slated to deliver a speech.

1. To date, the Indian Government has not officially designated Hamas as a terrorist organisation. India has consistently supported Palestine, although Israel has repeatedly urged India to recognise Hamas as a terrorist group. In 2023, Israel officially declared Lashkar-e-Taiba a terrorist group due to its involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

2. In August last year, a meeting was held between Hamas and Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Saifullah Khalid in Doha, Qatar. Following this meeting, India heightened its vigilance. The US designated Saifullah Khalid as a terrorist in 2018.He is considered a close associate of Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed.

3. According to the intelligence agencies, Pakistan will try to re-raise the Jammu and Kashmir issue at the international level through this. By drawing parallels between Palestine and Kashmir, Pakistan aims to portray both as examples of alleged Muslim oppression. This strategy is seen as an effort to garner support from Islamic nations.

Editorial Perspective

Should this be seen as a “gift” to India, which supports Palestine ? It is time for India to reconsider its stance on Palestine and officially designate Hamas as a terrorist organisation.
