Pulwama mastermind Masood Azhar is dead ?
The social media n television news channels including the you tube news channels of the country quoting Pakistan news sources have claimed about the possible death of the most wanted international terrorist Azhar Masood either due to the the kidney failure, his being badly diabetic or having been grievously injured in the Air attacks by India in the recent off loading of 1000 kilogram bombs in the Balakot training headquarter of Jaish e Mohammed n thereafter succumbing to his injuries in a Pakistani Army hospital in Rawalpindi where he was claimed to have been addmitted by Pakistan Army for treatment.
While the social media news from Pakistan about Azhar Masood’s death has gone viral worldwide there is no official confirmation or denial in this regard till yet. However, some of the news websites are now quoting the ANI tweet in its twitter handle quoting the Pakistan Pakistan’s media Geo Urdu News claiming that the hardened criminal responsible for the Uri n Pulwama genocidal fidayeen attacks Jaish chief Azhar Masood is very much alive though in bad health.
The Geo TV Urdu news have quoted the family sources denying his death. The government of Pakistan has however, neither denied nor confirmed the news. It may be recalled that the foreign minister of Pakistan Shah Mahmood Qureshi has just two days ago confirmed on television new channel CNN n Pakistan print media that Azhar Masood is extremely ill and not even able to walk thus confined to his house or hospital.
The news was published and aired in all the Pakistan n Indian news channels. Sources reveal that there are two possibilities that either Pakistan is trying to spread the rumours of hardened international terrorist death in order to appease Indian anti Pakistan sentiments or wanted to skip his death news as a result of his dying or grievously injured in the Indian attack at Balakot as it has already spread misinformation that no one was injured in the Indian Mirage Balakot attacks on Terror camps of Jaish.
On the other hand there are unconfirmed news of Masood Azhar having been grievously injured in Indian Mirage 2000 attacks n thereafter succumbing to the grave injuries in the Rawalpindi Army hospital along with several other Jaish terrorists. There is tremendous confusion on Azhar Masood’s being dead or still alive.
Just three days ago United States, United Kingdom and France has moved a resolution in United Nations to declare Azhar Masood as the UN designated terrorist and the request is still under active consideration under 1267 in the UN.
Pak’s natural ally China is still neutral having used its VETO thrice, earlier to oppose the move. There is heightened tension at the LOC after the Pulwama attack n subsequent airstrikes from both Indian n Pakistan sides.
