Pak-based JeM misuses religion to solicit funds
The Sunday Guardian
|September 21, 2025
Punjab-based proscribed terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has openly used its latest mosque-building campaign as both a fundraising drive and a recruitment platform, with chief Masood Azhar himself featured in messaging to cadres - countering persistent speculation that poor health and Operation Sindoor had sidelined him.
The campaign, styled as the "Masajid Lillah Muhim" (Mosques for Allah Campaign), ended on 18 September, Pakistan-based sources aware of the development told The Sunday Guardian.
Posters and pamphlets invoked Azhar's name, describing him as presiding over the effort, and a closing "audio letter" delivered by him was distributed widely in and around Punjab and near Bahawalpur, where Jaish's leadership is concentrated.
According to JeM's own accounting, the group, which had set a target of completing 313 mosques when the campaign was started a few months ago, has completed 152 of them while laying foundations for several more this year.
In the last interaction of this campaign, Azhar was personally present, sources said.
