An old video of Jaish-e-Mohammed commander Saifullah, killed in Kishtwar, has come to light, showing him reading verses of the Quran shortly before his death during a confrontation with security forces.
A resurfaced video features Saifullah, the commander of Jaish-e-Mohammed, who was recently killed in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, reading verses from the Quran by a stream. The video appears to have been recorded before his death, reflecting a moment of calm in contrast to the violent circumstances that led to his demise. The conflict occurred on a Sunday when security forces engaged in a fierce gunbattle with militants, resulting in Saifullah's death along with two other Pakistani terrorists. This incident has been described as a significant success for Indian security forces, disrupting the operations of Jaish-e-Mohammed in the region.
The emergence of the video has ignited discussions across various platforms, as it reveals a more personal side to the militant who was involved in terror activities. Observers note the juxtaposition of Saifullah's peaceful demeanor in the video against the violent reality of his role as a commander. It raises questions about the recruitment and ideologies within organizations like Jaish-e-Mohammed and how these individuals present themselves outside of their militant personas.
This incident reflects broader patterns of militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, where security operations continue to target key figures within terrorist organizations. The reaction to the video, combined with the news of Saifullah's death, underscores the ongoing challenges faced by security forces in dealing with terrorism, as well as the complex narratives surrounding the individuals involved in these conflicts.
