LeT Revolts Against Pakistan Army After Operation Sindoor Devastation

Lashkar-e-Taiba has severed ties with Pakistan's military establishment after admitting heavy losses from India's Operation Sindoor, which also exposed Chinese technical support to Pakistan.

Lashkar-e-Taiba has stopped responding to both the Pakistan Army and the Inter-Services Intelligence, marking an unprecedented internal revolt triggered by India's Operation Sindoor. Indian intelligence officials report that the terror group's founder, Hafiz Saeed, has gone silent and withdrawn from his cadre, while calls to rebuild the destroyed Muridke training facility have been ignored. LeT members refuse to let the army claim credit for a battle it did not win, and cadres are questioning leadership silence on Pakistan's conflict with the Afghan Taliban.

The revolt follows public admissions by senior LeT operatives Saifullah Khalid and Hafiz Abdul Rauf, who confirmed at victory rallies that Indian drones penetrated deep into Pakistan, striking targets in Islamabad, Peshawar, Lahore, and military facilities including Noor Khan, Shorkot, Rahim Yar Khan, and Bahawalpur. Hafiz Abdul Rauf stated that top Pakistani military and civil officials, including the Corps Commander and IG Punjab, attended funeral prayers for killed terrorists, directly contradicting the Government of Pakistan's official narrative that its air defenses neutralized most drone activity.

India's Ministry of External Affairs also condemned newly confirmed reports that China provided on-site technical support to Pakistan during the four-day clash. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the reports corroborate earlier intelligence, warning that nations supporting terrorist infrastructure damage their international reputation. A CCTV interview with Zhang Heng, an engineer at AVIC's Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute, confirmed Chinese personnel assisted the Pakistan Air Force, which deployed Chinese-made J-10CE fighter jets. If LeT's revolt solidifies, it would mark a massive shift in the dynamics between the terror group and Pakistan's military establishment.
