Pakistan has once again exposed its true face. Rawalakote, a town in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), became the hotbed for a Terror Summit. The Pakistani establishment openly hosted a multilateral terror conference starring Hamas!!
The terror event saw the participation of global jihadist organizations like Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen. Meanwhile Hamas’ leader was hosted as the special guest of honor the Pakistani PM rushed to felicitate. This brazen gathering marks the beginning of a new Islamist axis. Additionally, it shows a dangerous alignment of terror outfits that could have serious consequences for Bharat.
The Terror Saga – Jihadis, Pakistan, and Kashmir
Pakistan has used PoJK as a breeding ground for terrorism for decades. However, this year the establishment raised the stakes by bringing Hamas into the picture. Why Hamas? Well, these “freedom fighters” orchestrated the brutal October 7 attack on Israel. Thereby, making them worthy of worship to Pakistan’s Jiahdis. Hence, Hamas is now positioned as an ally to Kashmir-focused terror groups in addition to other Islamist terrorist organizations.
Thus, the message is clear: Pakistan is looking to escalate jihadist warfare in the region, drawing inspiration from Hamas’s tactics in Gaza.
In 1990, the then-Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto named 5th February as Kashmir Liberation Day. Thus, this was Pakistan’s way of trying to legitimize its terrorism in Kashmir. Since then the Pakistani regimes have held a summit in PoJK every year to raise Bharat’s hackles!
However, this year the Terror Summit was the so-called ‘Kashmir Solidarity and Hamas Operation Al-Aqsa Flood Conference.’ The Hamas representatives were given the center stage by the Pakistani government, military leadership, and other ISI-backed terror groups. All of them came together to discuss their next course of action in Kashmir. Reportedly, Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif bent over backward by personally arriving in PoJK to celebrate Khalid Al-Qaddoumi’s attendance. This Hamas leader’s presence was a moment of joy to the Jihadis.
But for Pakistan, it was also another way to seek financial backing from the Middle East under the guise of ‘Kashmir solidarity.’
Why Hamas? Pakistan’s Desperation for New Tactics

The inclusion of Hamas in a Terror Summit is not a coincidence. Pakistan’s favorite anti-India terror outfits like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba are suffering Bharat’s wrath. The Unknown Gnunmen and Indian security forces’ relentless counter-terror operations have given them a very significant setback. Many of their top commanders have been eliminated. Additionally, their infiltration attempts were thwarted time and again.
Desperate for fresh blood and new tactics, Pakistan is now looking toward Hamas, which has mastered underground tunnel warfare and guerrilla-style attacks.
Hamas’s use of sophisticated tunnels to launch attacks on IDF was proven devastatingly expensive for Israel. These tunnels allowed terrorists to infiltrate and control the Gaza Strip, massacre IDF, and civilians, as well as hold hostages for a long duration of the year-long Israeli siege. Therefore, Pakistan and its pet Jiahdis are aware of the effectiveness of Hamas’ methods. It seems they are now looking to replicate them in Jammu and Kashmir, and many other parts of Bharat. Intelligence agencies have already found evidence of Pakistan building underground tunnels along the Line of Control (LoC). The Hamas model could soon be applied in Kashmir to aid infiltration and attacks on Indian forces.
Beyond Kashmir: The Islamists’ Tunnel Warfare Plan in Bengal and More?
The danger does not stop at Kashmir. The Islamist networks in Bharat are emboldened by political patronage of vote-bank appeasement in states like West Bengal. Thus, with a porous border in the East, they could soon employ similar tunnel warfare strategies to destroy Bharat’s North Eastern peace.
Reports indicate that Islamist groups in Bangladesh, operating as ‘student advisors,’ are working on clandestine activities that might mirror Hamas’s tactics.
The illegal Bangladeshi radical immigrants, coupled with the unchecked expansion of madrasa networks, may create a dangerous ground for future insurgencies. These networks could provide logistical support to sleeper cells waiting to strike. Thereby, placing states like Assam, West Bengal, Manipur, and Nagaland in grave danger of terrorist activities. Add to the mix Pakistan’s ISI and its interests in Bangladesh – you get a recipe for disaster at the Bangladesh borders!
Time for Bharat to Take Decisive Action
Pakistan’s Terror Summit in PoJK is not just a symbolic event. It is a declaration of war against Bharat. With Hamas entering the picture, the stakes are higher than ever. Bharat must take swift action:
- Preemptive Strikes: The terror camps in PoJK must be neutralized before they become operational. Bharat needs more Balakot-style strikes to end Pakistan’s terror camps in the region.
- Sealing the Borders: Bharat must ramp up its border security, using advanced surveillance technology to detect underground tunnel activity. Ensure that terror sympathizers are punished as well!

- Crushing Islamist Networks Within: Islamist extremism, particularly in politically compromised regions like West Bengal and Assam, must be rooted out before it turns into a full-blown insurgency.
This never gets old-
Leaders come from Italy, voters come from Bangladesh, slogans of Pakistan are raised… People with 12 children are taking subsidy, people with 2 children are paying all taxes!! India's Democracy in nutshell pic.twitter.com/znPI3g4sst

- Deporting Illegal Immigrants: All illegal immigrants must be deported as soon as possible. Their loyalty shall always belong to terrorists who helped them cross into Bharat. Moreover, they are already a strain on Bharat’s resources as well as law and order agencies.
While Bangladesh is in bed with pakistan and threatening India, Bangladeshis are creating havoc here. Even the Bangladeshis do not want to live in Bangladesh. Needless to say, Pakis were right, they are thankless people. https://t.co/nG9XMSWRPf

- Exposing Pakistan on the Global Stage: Bharat must aggressively push for international sanctions on Pakistan for openly colluding with Hamas and sheltering jihadist groups.
The enemy is no longer hiding. Pakistan has thrown away all pretenses and is openly coordinating with global terror outfits. Bharat must recognize this threat and respond with the full force of its military and intelligence agencies before it is too late. Hopefully, India and its RAW have taken cognizance of the ticking timebomb that Pakistan is preparing for Bharat. May their evil plans be foiled in time! Jai Hind!
