THANK YOU, INDIA!

India gets it. India has suffered historically and continues to suffer at the hands of Islam. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been the first Indian Prime Minister since independence who has refused to be supine before Islamic jihad terrorism.

Times of India:
India’s precision military action ‘Operation Sindoor’, launched in response to the barbaric Pahalgam terror attack, has also achieved an unexpected but much-awaited outcome: bringing long-overdue justice to the family of slain American journalist Daniel Pearl, whose brutal murder in Pakistan shocked the world in 2002.One of the nine terror infrastructure targets destroyed in the early hours of May 7 included a facility in Bahawalpur, long known as the stronghold of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), the terrorist organisation led by Masood Azhar. The group is responsible for several terror attacks in India, including the 2001 Parliament attack and the 2019 Pulwama suicide bombing.Daniel Pearl, the South Asia bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal, was abducted in Karachi while investigating terror links in Pakistan’s intelligence establishment.

India’s Operation Sindoor has not just avenged the deaths of the 26 people in the Pahalgam attack, but also had a far-reaching impact on the global fight against terrorism. The Indian Armed Forces’ precision strikes on Wednesday reportedly killed Abdul Rauf Azhar, the operational head of Jaish-e-Mohammad and mastermind of the IC-814 hijacking.

Azhar was involved in the kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002. Hence, yesterday’s strikes on nine terror hubs in PoK and Pakistan delivered justice to the American-Jewish journalist.

Azhar’s role in orchestrating the 1999 Kandahar hijack facilitated the release of Omar Saeed Sheikh, a key Al-Qaeda operative, who kidnapped and murdered Pearl. The journalist was beheaded in 2002, an execution that shocked the world.

An investigative journalist, Pearl disappeared in Pakistan’s Karachi on January 23, 2002. He was reportedly scheduled to interview a religious leader as part of his research into Islamic extremism.
