India has urged Pakistan to take strong action against Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar following his alleged provocative speech in Bahawalpur, highlighting Pakistan's failure to curb his terrorist activities.
The NIA has alleged that Dilwar Iqbal indoctrinated and motivated Kupwara-resident Mohammed Ubaid Malik also to join the JeM.
Malik was killed in a targeted attack in the Mirali area of Pakistan's North Waziristan on Friday, according to reports. He was considered Azhar's right-hand man and was likely connected to several wanted terrorists.
Masood Azhar news: The Taliban's interim Afghan government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid made the strongly-worded remarks after a section of Pakistani media reported about Azhar's alleged presence in Afghanistan. They claimed Pakistan sent a letter with a demand to hand him over to Islamabad.
Pakistan maintains that Azhar is not present in Pakistan and likely to be in Afghanistan.
China stalled a proposal at the United Nations by India and the US to blacklist Abdul Rauf Azhar, the brother of JeM chief Masood Azhar.
China had earlier too put a hold on a listing by the US and India to blacklist a Pakistan-based terrorist under the sanctions committee of the UN Security Council.
The country's intelligence agencies have warned of a possible terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir after they got inputs regarding the movement of terrorists from across the border.
The meeting was attended by a group of Taliban leaders where JeM sought their support in 'India-Centric' operations. Sources further reveal that the political situation in Pakistan was also discussed in the meeting.
The NIA in its chargesheet claimed, "After forming the LeM, Malik aka Hasnain was further directed by commanders of the JeM that he has to commit terrorist activities in the (erstwhile) state of Jammu and Kashmir including in the Jammu region."
The names of these terrorists are mentioned in the latest updated list of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), which is responsible for securing the internal security of the country besides with taking strict actions against those conspiring against India.
Masood Azhar's JeM had claimed responsibility for the Pulwama terror attack that killed 40 CRPF soldiers in February, 2019.
Dreaded Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist, who also happened to be Masood Azhar's nephew was killed by security forces during an encounter in Pulwama's Kangan on Wednesday.
Jaish-e-Mohammad supremo Masood Azhar has gone missing, Pakistan claimed ahead of the meeting of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) which will take up the Pakistan dossier for discussion on Friday. The FATF plenary started in Paris on Sunday.
The intel agencies have told the security establishments that the Pakistan-based terror group chief Masood Azhar has made the call to carry out such strikes across this key temple town. This comes after Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that he has set a deadline of four months to construct the 'sky-high' grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
According to Pakistan watchers, Jaish has prepared a group of 30 suicide attackers to hit India, particularly installations in military cantonments and convoys of Indian security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
As per reports, the Pakistani government secretly released Masood Azhar from preventive detention in the early hours of Monday.
