Turkey, Azerbaijan Support Pakistan Post-Operation Sindoor; Qatar Calls for Restraint

Turkey, Azerbaijan Support Pakistan Post-Operation Sindoor: Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind fully backed the Indian Army's "Operation Sindoor" on Wednesday, which they called a just response to a recent terror attack in Pahalgam. Jamiat President reaffirmed the organization's commitment to India's sovereignty, integrity and security. “If any attempt is made by Pakistan to impose war, we declare in clear and unequivocal terms that the entire country—people of all religions, especially Muslims—will stand like a rock with our armed forces,” president of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, Maulana Mahmood Madani, said. The cross-border strike occurred Wednesday morning at targets, including terror hideouts in Pakistan.

Calling India “our homeland,” he added, “Protecting it is our national and constitutional duty. Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind has always upheld the message of patriotism, peace, and unity. And today, when our borders are under threat, we pledge to stand shoulder to shoulder with our armed forces.”

Maulana Mahmood Madani went on to say that the organization would continue to espouse the spirit of unity, patience and sacrifice at all levels. "We call upon the Government of India to be strong in the face of any act of agression. Our enemies must understand India will defend its homeland-with force at all cost-as one Nation," he said.

Maulana Syed Kaab Rashidi, legal advisor to Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, and a lawyer at the Supreme Court, said the action brought peace to victims' families. “Every victim of Pahalgam must have breathed a sigh of relief today. Their hearts have found peace,” he said. “The Indian Army has given a befitting reply to Pakistan, showing the world that no one will dare to look at India with evil intent.”

Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi, national president of the All India Muslim Jamaat, accused Pakistan of looking after terrorists. “Pakistan nurtures and shelters terrorists while denying it to the world. Like a thief, it orchestrates attacks in India,” he said, calling the Indian Air Force strike “essential” to eliminate these threats.

In Moradabad, former Samajwadi Party MP ST Hasan, credited both the Indian Army and PM Narendra Modi for the operation. “Terrorists have no religion. By killing innocents in the name of Islam, they tried to defame it and spark Hindu-Muslim riots. Thanks to our Hindu brothers, this conspiracy was foiled,” Hasan stated.

He reiterated the message of unity: “We are all Indians, regardless of religion. The world must understand this.” He also issued a warning to Pakistan, saying, “If Pakistan retaliates, it will prove it supports terrorists and be responsible for its own destruction.”
