"No Regret, No Despair": 10 of Masood Azhar’s Family Killed in Operation Sindoor

 No Regret, No Despair: 10 of Masood Azhar’s Family Killed in Op Sindoor – India’s Decisive Strike Against Terror

Introduction

In a significant escalation of India’s counter-terrorism operations, Operation Sindoor—launched in the early hours of May 7, 2025—has reportedly killed 10 members of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar’s family, along with four of his close aides. The precision airstrikes, conducted in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack, targeted JeM’s headquarters in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, marking one of India’s most audacious counter-terror actions in years.

Azhar, a UN-designated global terrorist, responded with chilling indifference, stating he had “no regret, no despair” over the deaths, instead calling them “guests of Allah.” This blog examines:

✔ The details of the strike and its targets
✔ Masood Azhar’s reaction and history of terror
✔ India’s strategic messaging and global implications
✔ Pakistan’s likely next moves

Operation Sindoor: The Strike That Hit Azhar’s Inner Circle

Key Details of the Attack

Targets Hit:

Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah (JeM HQ, Bahawalpur)

8 other terror launch pads in PoJK & Pakistan

Weapons Used: Precision-guided missiles & drones

Casualties:

70+ terrorists killed, 60+ injured (as per Indian sources)

10 of Azhar’s relatives, including women & children

4 senior JeM operatives

Why This Strike Was Different

Unlike Balakot (2019), which targeted a terror camp, Operation Sindoor struck deep inside Pakistan’s Punjab province, hitting the heart of JeM’s leadership. The inclusion of Azhar’s family members—though unintended—has sent shockwaves through terror networks.

Masood Azhar’s Reaction: "No Regret, No Despair"

In a statement circulated among JeM supporters, Azhar glorified the deaths, listing the deceased as:
✔ His elder sister & her husband
✔ A nephew & his wife
✔ A niece
✔ Five children from his extended family
✔ Four key aides

Azhar’s Twisted Justification

Called them “martyrs” and said they were “blessed to die together.”

Claimed, “I wish I could have joined them.”

Invited supporters to funeral prayers, likely to incite further violence.

Why His Response Matters

Reveals JeM’s cult-like indoctrination—even family deaths are spun as "divine will."

Signals Pakistan’s continued harboring of terrorists—Azhar operates freely despite UN sanctions.

Masood Azhar: A Lifetime of Terror

Year Attack Role

1994 Kidnapping of Western tourists Arrested in India, freed in 1999 hijack
2001 Parliament attack Mastermind (JeM)
2008 Mumbai attacks (26/11) Ideological supporter (LeT link)
2016 Pathankot airbase attack JeM leadership
2019 Pulwama suicide bombing (40 CRPF deaths) Direct involvement

India’s Longstanding Demand:

UNSC listed him as a global terrorist in 2019 after Pulwama.

Pakistan still denies his presence, despite JeM operating openly.

India’s Strategic Messaging

1. "Zero Tolerance" for Terror

The strikes reaffirm India’s right to self-defense under international law.

Unlike past ops (Surgical Strikes 2016, Balakot 2019), this directly hit terror leadership hubs.

2. Precision Over Escalation

No Pakistani military sites targeted—focus only on terror infrastructure.

Minimal civilian casualties (per Indian sources), unlike Pakistan’s propaganda.

3. Diplomatic Tightrope

Global reactions mixed:

US/UK: Likely to support India’s counter-terror actions.

China: May shield Pakistan at UNSC.

OIC: Expected to condemn strikes, ignoring JeM’s role.

Pakistan’s Likely Next Moves

1. Denial & Propaganda

Already inflating “civilian deaths” (ignoring JeM’s presence).

May stage funeral processions for global sympathy.

2. Proxy Retaliation

Increased infiltration attempts in Kashmir.

Possible terror strike on Indian assets abroad.

3. Diplomatic Offensive

Approach UN, FATF to paint India as “aggressor.”

Seek China’s support to block sanctions.

Global Implications: Will Pakistan Finally Act?

FATF Grey List: Pressure may intensify if JeM funding is exposed.

US Sanctions: Could target Pakistan’s military-intel apparatus.

China’s Dilemma: Balancing CPEC interests vs. backing a terror haven.

Conclusion: A Turning Point in India’s Counter-Terror Strategy?

Operation Sindoor marks a new phase in India’s fight against terrorism:

✅ Decapitation strikes (targeting leadership)
✅ Unapologetic retaliation for attacks on civilians
✅ Strategic restraint to avoid war

Azhar’s cold-blooded response—celebrating dead family members as martyrs—only underscores why Pakistan remains the epicenter of global terror.

The world must choose: Stand with victims of terror or enable its perpetrators.
