Pakistan tries to give dust in the eyes of international organizations for fear of economic sanctions by feeding terrorists at home! Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has raised the price on the head of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar, just ahead of a crucial meeting of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). 50 lakhs (in Pakistani currency) increased to 70 lakhs.
From the 26/11 Mumbai attacks to Masood Azhar, the mastermind of the February 2019 suicide attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama. The master of Jaish, who has carried out one after another sabotage in India with the help of Pakistan and ISI, Delhi has revealed that on the international stage. After fearing international sanctions, Pakistan's National Investigation Agency announced in 2021 that a reward of 50 lakh rupees would be offered for information needed to arrest Masood. Also, Islamabad claims that Jaish is not in the country, he is hiding in Afghanistan. However, India's intelligence agencies have been claiming the complete opposite with evidence for a long time.
According to Indian intelligence sources, Masood Azhar is currently in good health in the Nawabshah area of Pakistan's Sindh province. Diplomatic experts say that placing Azhar in the new 'Red Book' of 2026 and increasing the reward amount is an 'eye-wash' or strategic move by Pakistan. It is to be noted that Masood, the mastermind of several terrorist attacks, including the death of 40 CRPF personnel in the Pulwama suicide attack in February 2019, is the 'most wanted' in India.
Among the biggest terrorist attacks in India till date, the Mumbai terror attack on 26/11, 2008 would be at the top. 175 people were killed in that sabotage. The number of injured is more than 300. A new Red Book released by Pakistan names 19 militants accused of financing, arranging boats and logistics for the 26/11 attacks. It is worth noting that the pictures and details of 17 of them have been given, but the pictures and details of the remaining two militants have been mysteriously deleted. Only the name is kept.
India's intelligence agencies and international political experts say Pakistan would have removed the names of all terrorists, including Masood Azhar, from the 'Red Book'. Because, in the morning, Islamabad's supported 'Frankenstein'. That is not possible for international organizations like the Financial Action Task Force. The price of Masood Azhar's head has been increased by Rs 20 lakh due to the fear of being blacklisted. It remains to be seen what steps the international organization will take after that.
