The Tribune had exclusively published in its columns on May 14 about Pakistan's decision to rebuild structures destroyed in Indian airstrikes and even compensating the legal heirs of the deceased. Notably, relatives of US-designated terrorist Masood Azhar were also killed in the airstrikes, which makes him eligible for Rs 14-crore payout.

India’s Operation Sindoor targeted nine terror sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack that left 26 civilians dead. Among the primary targets were the LeT base at Muridke and the Jaish-e-Mohammed stronghold in Bahawalpur.

While Pakistan has portrayed the Muridke complex as a mosque and an educational centre, Indian intelligence agencies have consistently identified it as a breeding ground for terror operations.

"The government has announced to rebuild the mosques destroyed in the Indian attack. It is a welcome step,” said Sindhu, adding that PMML cadres remained “vigilant” against future strikes.

Notably, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had on Friday urged the International Monetary Fund to reassess its financial support to Pakistan, warning that global aid might be fuelling the terror networks India had worked to dismantle.
