New
Delhi,
Dec
23:
Indian
intelligence
agencies
have
exposed
the
nefarious
designs
of
the
Pakistan-based
terror
organisation
Jaish-e
Mohammed
(JeM)
to
destabilise
India.
An
exclusive
intelligence
note
has
revealed
the
details
of
the
modus
operandi
of
the
outfit
and
how
it
is
acting
as
Pakistan’s
strategic
asset
against
India.

As
per
information,
Al-Qaeda
and
Haqqani
Network
have
been
providing
funds
to
the
organisation
to
carry
out
terror
activities
in
order
to
destabilise
India.
The
funds
are
also
being
used
for
the
establishment
of
its
headquarters
in
Pakistan’s
Bahawalpur.
The
family
members
of
JeM
chief
Maulana
Masood
Azhar
are
the
ones
directing
the
allotment
of
funds.

The
note
has
further
revealed
that
Pakistan
is
also
extending
its
support
to
the
terror
outfit
and
using
it
as
a
strategic
asset
to
plot
against
India.
As
per
the
sources,
there
is
no
major
crackdown
by
the
Pakistan
authorities
on
the
fundings
though
it
is
being
done
right
under
their
nose.
Al-Qaeda
and
Haqqani
are
also
shifting
their
technology
and
power
to
JeM.
According
to
the
intelligence
reports,
the
money
provided
by
the
Haqqani
Network
is
distributed
by
Azhar’s
family
members
to
set
up
different
mechanisms
and
the
headquarters
at
Bahawalpur.

Bickering
within
Pak
army
waiting
dead
end

The
Haqqani
Network,
one
of
the
most
radical
Islamic
terror
outfits,
has
begun
to
gain
ground
in
Afghanistan
after
the
Taliban
came
to
power
there.
Members
of
the
network
are
at
present
serving
as
ministers
in
the
Taliban
government.
It
is
relevant
to
mention
that
after
the
Taliban
takeover,
Al-Qaeda
leader
Al-Zawahiri
had
taken
shelter
in
Afghanistan
and
was
killed
on
July
31,
2022,
in
a
drone
strike
carried
out
by
the
US
on
a
residential
house
in
the
Sherpoor
area
of
Kabul
city.

Speaking
to
the
media,
defence
expert
Brigadier
(retd)
Hemant
Mahajan
said,
“It
is
a
very
very
dangerous
news.
As
far
as
India
and
Kashmir
valley
are
concerned,
there
are
three
groups
currently
active
–
Lashkar-e-Taiba,
Jaish-e-Mohammed
and
Hizbul
Mujahideen.
Today
when
terrorist
activities
are
restricted
only
to
Kashmir
valley,
Pakistan
now
wants
to
increase
the
level
of
violence
and
terror
there.”

media
in
danger
zone

“In
the
present
scenario,
around
150
to
200
terrorists
are
only
active
in
the
Valley
which
is
not
sufficient
for
them
to
keep
Kashmir
in
limelight.
Therefore,
they
want
to
increase
their
violence
potential
and
that
is
the
reason
why
they
are
now
asking
groups
like
Haqqani
and
Al-Qaeda
networks
to
finance
as
well
as
train
them.
There
are
three
aspects
to
increase
the
potential
of
terrorism
–
fresh
recruitments,
funding
and
local
networking,”
Brig.
Mahajan
explained.
