Ever since the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, there has been general outrage in India against Pakistan and the terrorists that it harbors. The people are calling for a robust Indian response, with social media filled with demands for strikes against Pakistan. Many are voicing the need to eliminate terrorism at its root.
Amid this tension, India’s notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang has issued a chilling threat to Pakistan. In a social media post, the gang claimed they would eliminate a man who is “worth a lakh,” referring to a highly significant target. The post featured a photo of Pakistan-based terrorist Hafiz Saeed, marked with a red cross. The caption read, “You killed our innocent people. Now we will enter Pakistan and kill a man worth a lakh.”
Who is Hafiz Saeed?
Hafiz Saeed is one of India’s most wanted terrorists and the founder of the terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba. He is the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and is suspected to be involved in numerous other terror attacks on India, including the Pulwama attack that killed dozens of Indian troops. Under intense international pressure and several requests by India, Pakistan has consistently provided him with safe harbor. He has been made a global terrorist by the UN and several other countries.
How Does the Bishnoi Gang Functions?
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang operates in a number of Indian states. Although Bishnoi is now behind bars in a Gujarat prison, his organization still operates with lethal effectiveness. The gang has been linked to several high-profile crimes, including the firing outside Salman Khan’s residence and the murder of singer Sidhu Moosewala. The Moosewala case brought them national infamy.
Now, the gang’s open threat against a global terrorist like Hafiz Saeed has stirred serious discussions. While the Indian public waits for an official government response, this unexpected warning from a criminal gang has added a new and controversial twist to the ongoing narrative of national security and justice.
