‘State funeral for terrorists in Pakistan’: Foreign Secretary slams Pakistan’s links to TRF, LeT, and JeM leaders
- On May 8, 2025, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri addressed the media in New Delhi, condemning Pakistan for conducting state funerals for terrorists killed in Indian military operations targeting militant bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
- The briefing followed a series of attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, including the Pahalgam terror attack by Pakistan-based militants, prompting India’s Operation Sindoor to target terrorist infrastructure.
- Misri displayed a photo depicting members of the Pakistani military and police engaged in prayer beside coffins draped with national flags, honoring leaders of LeT, JeM, and TRF who were killed and received state funerals in Pakistan.
- He stated that since only terrorists were targeted in these operations and no military targets were affected, one should consider the implications of the images showing funerals for those eliminated.
- India’s measured response aims to dismantle terrorists operating from Pakistani soil while highlighting Pakistan’s ongoing support for UN-designated terror groups, with India expected to push for further UNSC designations.
