People took to Twitter to react to the news, with the hashtag #MasoodAzharDEAD. Some of the Twitterati claimed that the JeM chief was killed during Balakot airstrike. Jaish-e-Muhammed chief Masood Azhar may have been killed in the IAF strike on Balakot which was denied by Jaish intelligence sources told TOI the Pakistan Army had shifted him from its Rawalpindi base hospital to a Jaish camp in Goth Ghanni in Bahawalpur.
Azhar is known to have a renal ailment and was being treated at Rawalpindi Army hospital for several months.
Pak foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in an interview admitted that Masood Azhar is in Pakistan but is in extremely unwell state. Talking about his health he said that he is so unwell that he can’t even leave his house.
There’s a huge pressure on the Indian government too to show the evidence regarding the claims of the airstrike. Governments on both sides are expected to make big announcements soon.
