Terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed is becoming active again in Pakistan. After the Pahalgam attack, India launched “Operation Sindoor” and destroyed the group’s headquarters in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. But now, Jaish is trying to rebuild that base again. Group leader, Masood Azhar, has started an online campaign to raise money for this. Through a post on social media, the group asked people to donate secretly so no one knows how much money anyone gives.
In the post, Masood Azhar said that through this campaign, parts of the land will turn into “heaven,” damaged mosques will shine again, and joy will return. He also added that those who are waiting to join the path of “jihad” will find new ways to do so.
According to an NDTV investigation, Pakistan’s military and intelligence agencies have begun rebuilding other terror facilities along the LoC. These include smaller, high-tech camps in forested areas, designed specifically to evade Indian surveillance, with masking against thermal, radar, and satellite detection.
During Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army had destroyed Jaish-e-Mohammed’s main base, the Subhan Allah Mosque in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. In this airstrike, many terrorists, including some family members of Jaish leader Masood Azhar, were killed.
According to a report in The Print, the group has relaunched social media campaigns, recruitment drives via Telegram and WhatsApp, and posted audio messages of its chief Masood Azhar calling for revenge. One speech, attributed to Azhar, vowed to destroy the Ayodhya Ram Mandir.
Indian fighter jets carried out precise strikes on terrorist camps inside Pakistan without even crossing the border. They targeted training camps, launch pads, and headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Under Operation Sindoor, India struck a total of nine terror bases in both Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The strike on Jaish’s headquarters in Bahawalpur and Lashkar’s base in Muridke, Punjab (Pakistan), was successful.
These strikes were India’s strong response to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, where 26 people were killed.
Since 1999, Bahawalpur has become the main base for Jaish-e-Mohammed. This happened after Masood Azhar was released in exchange for passengers of the hijacked IC-814 flight. Jaish has been involved in many deadly attacks in India, including:
Masood Azhar was declared a global terrorist, and he has not been seen in public since April 2019. Azhar started Jaish in January 2000 with help from Pakistan’s ISI, Taliban leaders in Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden, and other radical groups in Pakistan.
The Subhan Allah center in Bahawalpur was where Jaish trained its fighters and spread its radical ideology. Indian officials believe the Pulwama attack in 2019 was planned at this same camp.
