India has criticized Pakistan’s latest move to announce a bounty for the capture of Masood Azhar.
Azhar, the head of Jaish-e-Mohammed, remains a top terror suspect in India for attacks such as the 2001 Parliament strike, the 2008 Mumbai assaults, the 2016 Pathankot airbase raid and the 2019 Pulwama bombing.
The Indian government has reiterated that Azhar’s presence poses a continuing security threat and that the country remains determined to bring him to justice.
This reaction underscores India’s stance on cross‑border terrorism and its readiness to counter any attempts by Pakistan to legitimize or reward extremist figures.
