New Delhi: On the occasion of the so-called ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day’, there was a coordinated escalation of hostilities between Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba Lashkar-e-Taiba has used inflammatory anti-India rhetoric during public rallies in Pakistan and Pakistani-occupied Kashmir, inciting direct violence against India and global powers.The comments, which included open calls for jihad and threats to attack major Indian cities, have triggered heightened alert among Indian intelligence agencies and the military is bracing for potential cross-border spillover. The speech by Syed Abdul Rahman Naqvi, Lashkar-e-Taiba’s top ideologue, was particularly shocking because of its specific geographical targeting, shouting to cheering crowds that the group would “set Agra on fire, wake up the Deccan and shake Delhi”.In Rawalakot, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Tehreek-e-Insaf commander Masood Ilyas Kashmiri addressed a large rally and persuaded young Pakistanis to join the ranks of the terrorist group. Kashmiri said his supporters were ready to “crush the enemy with all force and terror”. He also warned that a “message” would be sent to Delhi and global powers, particularly the United States, Britain and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.The rally featured the public appearance of a “next generation” cadre of newly recruited terrorists. Kashmiri is the same agent who previously acknowledged the devastating impact of India’s attack on the Bahawalpur headquarters of Tehreek-e-Insaf and described how the blast left the terrorists “in pieces”. In Lahore, Syed Abdul Rehman Naqvi is the commander of the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League, Pakistan’s political front. Hafiz SaeedLashkar-e-Taiba poses a chilling threat to India’s territorial integrity. Naqvi, who maintained close ties with Saeed and his son Talha Saeed, vowed to fulfill the “witnesses of his elders” by disbanding Akhand Bharat.
