After Sindoor, JeM begins drive for funds

JAMMU: After suffering major setbacks in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) has launched a Rs 3.91 billion fundraising drive under the garb of building 313 mosques, mirroring Lashkar-e-Taiba's decentralisation model, security officials said.

Backed by ISI, JeM is using digital wallets like EasyPaisa and Sadapay, controlled by founder Masood Azhar's family, to bypass scrutiny by FATF. Several accounts are linked to Azhar's brother Talha Al Saif, son Abdullah Azhar, and other commanders.

Over 250 wallets are reportedly active, with social media posters, videos and Azhar's letters urging donations. Officials said JeM aims to decentralise training camps and ensure long-term financing for ops.
