'We hit India from Red Fort to Kashmir's forests': Pakistan leader's explosive admission
Muzaffarabad/IBNS: A recent statement by Pakistani politician Chaudhry Anwarul Haq has reignited debate over Islamabad’s involvement in cross-border terrorism, as Haq openly claimed that militant groups carried out strikes in India “from the Red Fort to the forests of Kashmir,” triggering widespread outrage.
His comments alluded to two major attacks on Indian soil this year: the November 10 car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort that killed 14 people, and the April massacre in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baisaran Valley, where 26 tourists lost their lives.
In the viral video, Haq is heard saying, “I had warned that if Balochistan continued to be targeted, we would respond inside India—from the Red Fort to Kashmir. By the grace of Allah, we have done it, and they still can’t count the bodies.”
He went on to add, “A few days later, armed men entered Delhi and attacked. They probably haven’t even counted all the bodies yet.”

The reference to the Red Fort points to the deadly blast orchestrated by Dr Umar Un Nabi, who was part of a Jaish-e-Mohammed–linked “white-collar” terror network unearthed in Faridabad just days earlier.
His mention of Kashmir corresponds to the Pahalgam attack in April, where militants opened fire on tourists visiting Baisaran Valley.
Pakistan frequently accuses India of fuelling unrest in Balochistan, a charge New Delhi rejects as an attempt to shift blame for Islamabad’s support of extremist groups.
Following the Pahalgam killings, India intensified diplomatic pressure, even freezing the Indus Waters Treaty until Pakistan halts terrorism.
Haq’s remarks are the latest in a series of damaging admissions from within Pakistan’s leadership.
Not long ago, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi alleged that the Pakistani state gains from orchestrated or “fake” terror incidents and manipulates terrorism for political purposes, as reported by TOLO News.
Operation D-6
Investigators have also revealed more details about the Faridabad-based terror module behind the Red Fort blast.
According to officials, the group was preparing a major suicide attack for December 6, the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition.
The plot — codenamed “Operation D-6” — surfaced during the interrogation of suspects captured in Faridabad and Jammu and Kashmir.
Preliminary probes suggest the cell was working on a large car-bomb suicide operation, with weeks of planning already completed.
The module is believed to have consisted of nine to ten operatives, including five to six doctors from Al-Falah University.
These individuals allegedly used their professional credentials to procure chemicals and explosive substances.
Investigations identified Dr Shaheen Shaheed and Dr Umar — the key figure behind the Red Fort explosion — as the primary planners.
Dr Shaheen was reportedly tasked with building and overseeing a new women-focused wing of Jaish-e-Mohammed in India, operating under the name Jamaat-ul-Momineen, created to recruit and deploy female operatives.
Her capture followed the arrest of Dr Muzammil Ahmad Ganai, another Al-Falah University affiliate.
The institution remains under intense scrutiny after the exposure of the terror network and the Red Fort bombing.
