A viral video of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Qaasim has exposed Pakistan’s denial of India’s precision strikes, as he admitted to the destruction of the Markaz Taiba terror camp in Muridke, Punjab province.
Standing amidst the rubble, Qaasim admitted that the facility had trained numerous terrorists, including “Mujahideens and Talaba”, while pledging to rebuild it.
“I am standing in front of the Markaz Taiba in Muridke... It was destroyed in the attack [during Operation Sindoor]. We will be rebuilding it and making it even bigger... From here, big names in Mujahideen got trained here and achieved Faiz [Victory],” Qaasim said in the video, as quoted by ANI.
The Muridke complex, established in 2000, has long been the alma mater of LeT, serving as its most crucial training centre in Pakistan. It housed arms facilities, physical training infrastructure, dawa’h, and radicalisation programmes for recruits both from within Pakistan and abroad.
Ostensibly, the Muridke seminary, called Markaz, is a religious preaching centre as well as a charitable institution but those activities are a front for the terror training facility. LeT supremo Hafiz Saeed's headquarter, the Muridke seminary has had links to al Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden and several major terror attacks in India including 26/11 Mumbai attack.

JeM commander confirms Bahawalpur strike
Days earlier, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) commander Masood Ilyas Kashmiri also admitted in another viral video that India’s Operation Sindoor strikes had destroyed Markaz Subhan Allah, JeM’s operational headquarters in Bahawalpur, and killed members of JeM chief Masood Azhar’s family.
“After sacrificing everything, on May 7, the family members of Masood Azhar were torn into pieces in Bahawalpur,” Kashmiri said at an event, admitting to India’s assertion that the strikes eliminated key terrorist elements.

Earlier reports had confirmed that Mohammad Yusuf Azhar and Hafiz Muhammed Jameel—both brothers-in-law of Masood Azhar—were among those killed in the strikes. Yusuf Azhar, wanted in the IC-814 hijacking case, oversaw weapons training for JeM and played a role in several terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. Jameel, the eldest brother-in-law of Masood Azhar, managed the Markaz Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur and was heavily involved in indoctrinating youth and raising funds for JeM operations.
The Markaz Subhan Allah facility, operational since 2015, served as JeM’s core hub for training and indoctrination. It has been directly linked to planning terrorist operations, including the Pulwama attack on February 14, 2019, which killed 40 CRPF personnel.
Qaasim urges new recruits
In another viral clip, Qaasim openly called upon youths to join the Daura-e-Suffa training programme at Muridke, which involves basic combat training and jihadi indoctrination, further underscoring the camp’s role in sustaining LeT’s militant pipeline.
India carried out the May 7 strikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting key strongholds of both JeM and LeT. The operation was launched in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 people.
The strikes marked one of India’s most significant counter-terror operations in recent years, taking aim at the operational heart of Pakistan-based terror groups.
