In a shocking incident, two Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists were spotted in a mosque in Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir, with a video of the same being accessed by Republic TV.
The terrorists entered the mosque - the Jamia Masjid in Kulgam - even as Eid prayers were in progress, and addressed the crowd. Using the mic in the mosque to raise their slogans, one of them can even be seen shouting and ordering people to switch off cameras.
The terrorist seen addressing the crowd was armed, with the visuals clearly showing him to be carrying a pistol in his right hand. The words 'Indian Army' and 'Shaheed' were mentioned in the terrorist's speech, following which pro-Pakistan slogans were raised.
The specific call that was made involved a demand for 'Azaadi', a relationship with Pakistan, a call to take up arms, an appeal for support - all of which is garbed in religious fervour. The terrorist also admits the efficacy of the Indian security forces' crackdown on terrorism in the Valley, with the Lashkar being severely depleted.
The radical speech concluded with people shouting slogans of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (L-e-T) - the same Pakistan-based terrorist outfit which was responsible for the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, the 2006 serial train bombings and the 2001 Parliament attack.
