Delhi, May 11: Following the blood-and-guts at Pahalgam in Jammu & Kashmir and the Pakistan’s subsequent confrontation, the most terrific outfit of the world Lashkar-e-Taiba’s epicenter in Muridke was ground down for good, said DGMO Rajiv Ghai on Sunday.
During a press briefing in the evening, Ghai said, nefarious places such as Muridke, the hub center of the Lashkar-e-Taiba which had over the years bred infamous characters, was crushed into rubble during the Operation Sindoor, carried out by the Indian Armed Forces, as a retaliatory measure against Pakistan, for its immoral support to terrorists, who wreaked brutal killing in the Pahalgam valley on April 22.
Underlining the precise and strategic attack on Pakistan, DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai said, "It set into motion a very diligent and microscopic scarring of the terror landscape across the borders and the identification of terror camps and training sites. The locations that emerged were numerous, but as we deliberated more, we realised that some of these terror hubs were now bereft of presence and had preemptively been vacated fearing retribution from us.There was also a term of reference and our own binding self imposed restriction to target only terrorists and thus prevent collateral damage. There were nine camps that you are now all familiar with which were confirmed by our various intelligence agencies to be inhabited. Some of these were in PoJK, while there were others that were located in the Punjab Province in Pakistan.
Muridke,will no more be a hub center of the Lashkar-e-Taiba to bud infamous characters such as Ajmal Kasab and the likes of David Headley to disperse terror from this point, Ghai added.
