A video from Muridke, Pakistan, has surfaced online showing the father of two slain Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists glorifying their deaths during Operation Sindoor. Surrounded by LeT members, including senior operative Hafiz Abdur Rauf, the man is seen delivering a provocative speech praising his sons, who were killed by the Indian Armed Forces.
“Would Sacrifice All Five Sons”
In the video, the father proudly declares: “My two sons got martyred and I am proud of it. If I had five sons I would have sacrificed them as well.”

His statement immediately triggered chants of “Nara-e-Takbir” and “Allahu Akbar” from the gathered crowd. The group then began shouting “Shi Ullah, Sahi Ullah; Al Jihad, Al Jihad,” further glorifying the jihadist ideology.
Hafiz Abdur Rauf Makes Appearance Again
Notably, Hafiz Abdur Rauf, a top LeT leader, can be seen present in the video. Pakistani authorities have previously referred to him as “a common family man,” despite his visible involvement in terrorist gatherings. He was earlier spotted leading funeral prayers for three terrorists eliminated by Indian forces in Operation Sindoor.
Site of Video Linked to LeT Training Hub
The footage is believed to have been recorded in Muridke, one of the locations targeted during India’s Operation Sindoor. Markaz Taiba, located in Nangal Sahdan near Sheikhupura, has long served as a primary training ground for the LeT and was among the key strike points during the operation.
Operation Sindoor: A Strategic Strike
Operation Sindoor, launched by the Indian Armed Forces, targeted multiple LeT hubs and terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following the Pahalgam terror attack. The emergence of this video has once again raised concerns about Pakistan’s continued patronage of known terror operatives.
