Amjad Ayub Mirza, a political activist from Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, has condemned Pakistan following the reported killing of Hamza Burhan, an alleged commander of the Jaish-e-Mohammed. Mirza stated that Burhan, who was linked to the 2019 Pulwama attack, had been living in Pakistan and PoJK despite being designated a terrorist by India in 2022. He likened Burhan's case to that of Osama bin Laden, who was found in Abbottabad, questioning how such figures could remain undetected without state involvement.
Mirza accused the Pakistan military and intelligence agencies of providing sanctuary to extremists while engaging with international powers for strategic benefits. He alleged that Pakistan plays a 'double game' by protecting militant leaders and later targeting them when they become liabilities, suggesting Burhan's death might have been a calculated move in response to increased scrutiny. Mirza also highlighted the killing of Maulana Sheikh-ul-Hadith Idrees as another instance of individuals being eliminated after outliving their usefulness. He called for an international investigation into Pakistan's role in harboring global terrorists, emphasizing the need for accountability regarding terrorism financing.
