Teach Lesson To Modi: Pahalgam Attack Mastermind Requests Asim Munir To Avenge Pakistan Floods
In a chilling reminder of Pakistan’s continued preference for terror over diplomacy, Lashkar-e-Taiba’s (LeT) deputy chief and mastermind of the deadly Pahalgam terror attack Saifullah Kasuri has issued an open threat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a video circulating on Pakistan-based social media platforms.
Not even six months have passed and Pakistan seems to have once again proved it prefers violence over peace. LeT deputy chief Kasuri’s latest video comes just months after the Pahalgam massacre on April 22, 2025, where 26 innocent civilians lost their lives in one of the deadliest terror strikes in recent years.
In the viral video, Kasuri hails Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir, calling him “Field Marshal” and brazenly urges him to “teach a lesson to PM Modi like we did on May 10, 2025.” The reference is ominous, echoing the Pahalgam attack and hinting at more cross-border terror plots in the making.
What is Kasuri’s latest threat to PM Modi?
Speaking at a public gathering in Bahawalpur, he said, “We are in difficult times, but our spirits are high. We are soft like silk for our people, but beyond description for our enemies.” Addressing PM Modi directly, he stated, “Narendra Modi, open your ears and listen carefully and also inform your cruel society.”
“The time is near when their rivers will be ours, their dams will be ours, the entire Jammu & Kashmir will be ours, and many other things will be ours,” he added.
Is Pakistan using natural disasters as cover for terrorism?
LeT deputy chief Kasuri’s statement further exposes the deep nexus between Pakistan’s military establishment and its terror proxies, with LeT leaders openly coordinating with or glorifying the Pakistani Army’s top brass.
In a bizarre twist, Kasuri claimed he was acting “in the name of flood relief work,” vowing retaliation for floods that recently devastated parts of Pakistan. Accusing India of “water terrorism,” he alleged that New Delhi deliberately triggered floods by “uncontrolled water release”.
These falsehoods coincide with Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif’s address at the UN last nonth on September 26, 2025, where he echoed similar claims of India violating the Indus Water Treaty (IWT). The timing of both political and militant statements underlines how Islamabad’s political narrative and terror machinery operate in tandem.
“Pakistan stands ready for a composite, comprehensive and result-oriented dialogue with India on all outstanding issues,” Sharif said, warning that disputes over Kashmir and water resources remained volatile. India’s alleged abeyance of the Indus Water Treaty, he added, “represents an act of war.”
Why did India put the Indus Water Treaty on hold?
Following the April 22 Pahalgam attack, India made it clear that continued cross-border terrorism would have consequences, including a review of long-standing agreements such as the Indus Waters Treaty. New Delhi put the treaty in abeyance, exercising its sovereign rights under international law, and linked its reinstatement to verifiable action by Pakistan to dismantle its terror infrastructure.
India’s firm stance is a countermeasure, not a provocation, a response to Pakistan’s persistent refusal to curb terror groups operating freely within its territory.
Is Pakistan ignoring its responsibility to end terrorism?
While Sharif used his UN platform to accuse India of “defying” the IWT and threatening war over water rights, he conspicuously avoided any mention of terrorism. Despite repeated demands by India and the global community to crack down on terror havens, Islamabad continues to deflect blame and push propaganda.
Kasuri’s threats, and Pakistan’s failure to distance itself from such actors, highlight a willful embrace of violent extremism rather than a genuine interest in dialogue or peace.
Meanwhile, India has made it clear: peace is possible only if Pakistan ends cross-border terrorism. The Pahalgam attack, claimed and celebrated by known LeT leaders, marks a red line. The Indus Waters Treaty, a symbol of cooperation even during war, is no longer off-limits in the face of Pakistani-backed violence.
