A senior Jaish-e-Mohammed commander has alleged that Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir ordered military honours for slain relatives of JeM chief Masood Azhar's family. Speaking at the 38th Annual Mission Mustafa Conference in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Maulana Mufti Muhammad Masood Ilyas Kashmiri claimed that during Operation Sindoor, Munir directed corps commanders to attend funerals with Air Force providing security. He alleged Pakistan Air Force "avenged JeM militants' killing" and brought the Army "under jihadi ideology umbrella." Operation Sindoor was India's May 7 response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, targeting nine terror launchpads. These explosive claims renew scrutiny of Pakistan's counterterrorism commitments despite Islamabad's denials of supporting terror outfits. (PC: X & The Economic Times)
