Rameshwaram Cafe Blast Mastermind Shocking Video Calls for 'Recruiting And Training New Brothers'

New Delhi: Farhatullah Ghori, the mastermind behind the deadly March 1 Rameshwaram Cafe blast in Bengaluru, has surfaced in a disturbing new video. In the footage, Ghori urges Indian Muslim youth to target government functionaries and critical infrastructure, including the nation’s rail system. The video, which was circulated on several Telegram channels, has sparked widespread alarm due to its incendiary content and the potential threat it poses to national security.

The video, which was accessed by Republic Media Network, was reportedly shared by a closed, ISI-backed Pakistani group on Telegram. While the video has caused widespread concern, we cannot to confirm its authenticity or trace its origin.

In the video, Ghori calls for attacks on Indian transport infrastructure, urging young Muslims to join the cause. He emphasises the importance of strategic resistance against India, suggesting that acts of sabotage and economic disruption are essential components of their mission.

Ghori can be heard saying, “Understand well that taking up arms is not the only action. Every step we take, every effort we make against the enemy, will be the initial effort to bring down the establishment of Hindutva. Besides taking up arms, there are other actions, such as helping prisoners, supporting the families of prisoners, and aiding the Mujahideen by providing information, as well as mentally preparing new brothers and advancing this work as a mission. And causing economic and financial damage to the enemy is the kind of action that fulfills this great purpose.”

The chilling message underscores a broader strategy that includes not only violent attacks but also support roles within the militant network. Ghori's appeal for the formation of "small, hidden groups" indicates a shift towards decentralised operations aimed at creating chaos and weakening the Indian state's resolve.

Ghori, who remains at large, continues to be a significant figure in the global terrorist landscape, with his latest video serving as a stark reminder of the persistent threats to India’s national security. The security agencies are on high alert, and efforts are underway to track down those involved in the production and circulation of the video.
