Aided actively by Pakistan, terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) is on an overdrive conducting recruitments and opening new offices and training centres in the country.

The Indian Intelligence establishment has issued an alert to various security agencies pointing out that JeM has opened new offices and training centres in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Balakot town in Pakistan and is reviving its offices and network in the Kohat and Hazara regions.

It has also alerted about one Awais Muhammad, a resident of Okara, who has been tasked to carry out attacks in Delhi. Muhammad has been sent to Malaysia on proper documents and has been asked to travel to India on a fake passport of that country.

“Pakistan will never mend its ways when it comes to using terror as a means of State policy to achieve strategic goals against India as it is not only continuing to support the terror groups like the Jaish-e-Mohammad, but is also actively aiding them to again target New Delhi by carrying out terrorist strikes and suicide missions,” an Intelligence official said.

The latest input by the Directorate General of Military Intelligence and the alert message shared with the various security agencies through the Multi-Agency Centre (MAC) says Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is tacitly supporting the JeM to invigorate the terror infrastructure there to target India. A copy of the alert shared by MAC is with The Pioneer.

“The JeM has reinvigorated its recruitment drive since 2014 especially in Punjab (Pakistan),” said the alert shared by MAC with various security agencies.

The alert further said, “A new training facility has also been constructed by JeM at Balakot. The JeM is also planning to carry out terror strikes in India including suicide attacks in major cities. For this purpose, real time reconnaissance of the cities is being carried out by the sleeper cells of ISI, IM (Indian Mujahideen) and JeM terrorists.”

The alert further pointed out that Muhammad, who has been sent to Malaysia on proper documents, will be provided with a fake Malaysian passport to enable him to undertake operations in India.

The inputs are being weighed by the security agencies as valuable for the reason that they are backed by specifics.

Incidentally, the audacious support by the Pakistani state agencies to its affiliate terror group comes months after a Joint Investigation Team visited India to probe the Pathankot airbase attack case in which the JeM was the key player right from the strategy to execution of the jehadi plan.
