This victory will be especially important to Ben Stokes and Joe Root, two of England’s great cricketers.

New Delhi: ‘Operation Sindoor’, India’s calibrated military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, included a strike on Muridke in Pakistan’s Punjab, which is home to the headquarters of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and is known as the “terror nursery” of Pakistan. The Hafiz Saeed-led terror outfit is believed to be behind the April 22 attack in Baisaran near Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam in which 26 people, most of whom were tourists, were killed.  The headquarters of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and its front organisation Jamaat-ud-Dawa in Muridke is spread over approximately 200 acres and houses a terror training camp as well as other infrastructure. Muridke is a major commercial hub and is about 40 km from Lahore. India’s strikes also targeted Bahawalpur in Pakistan’s Punjab and Kotli and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
