Pakistan's confusion: What do anti-terrorist extremists do?
This is the responsibility of the attack on CRPF convoy in Pulwama, India-administered Kashmir on February 14th. More than forty Indian soldiers were killed in this attack. A person involved in the management of this madrassa accepted that 'it is said that it runs Jaish-e-Mohammed'. It was a rigorous young man standing at the door of a madrassa in the outskirts of Islamabad for a powerful automatic rifle in his hands. She did not have one eye. A small poster on the wall behind them was mentioned in a major slogan of the major war of Islamic history. It was written between guns. But the religion teacher we talked to have said that these allegations are false and that this seminary is just a center of religious education.
In recent times, the Pakistani government has taken action against Jaish-e-Mohammed and other organizations and has taken hundreds of madrassa and other buildings associated with them under their control. A poster on a dusty road outside was calling for a rally in support of Kashmir and in it the black-white flag of Jaish-e-Mohammed was made. Although, they has not been contacted by these security force in this madrassa of the Islamabad. Therefore, Jaish founder Masood Azhar brother has been taken into custody as a precaution, so his other relatives and dozens of extremists have also been arrested.
'Azhar in safe custody'
Talking to reporters this week, Pakistan's Home Minister Shaharyar Khan Afriadi had said that Pakistan will not allow its land to be used to harm anyone. It is believed that Azhar is also in 'safe custody' in Pakistan since 2016. Although they are continue to issue audio messages in the meantime. But this has been happening in Pakistan even earlier. This is not the first time that action is being taken on these organizations in Pakistan. This government has its own policy. He said that the government is not taking this step under any external pressure. In this way many people suspect that this fresh action will stop India-centric extremist activities from Pakistan.
But those who were caught were left abandoned in the absence of evidence. However, later mosques and madrassa are being returned to their real owners. But Indian officials have told the BBC that they have already seen them all before. This was Azhar is impressive extremist in the 1990s. They were concerned with Afghanistan and Kashmir conflict. Shortly before, the extremists had abducted the Indian plane and released them from the Indian jail. This Masood Azhar founded Jaish-e-Mohammad in 2000. It has also been believed that such groups of Pakistan have been getting support from ISI, the country's intelligence agency.
It is believed that Lashkar-e-Taiba (Letts), a more militant organization linked to Kashmir, is also getting support from Pakistani military forces. According to the Pakistani analysis, according to Ahmed Rashid, jihads were trained and dedicated fighters in those days. They had no direct connection with Pakistan, so India was not clear about how to give a response to their attacks. Because, it Pakistan has always denied their relationship with them, although they kept telling themselves differently. However their leaders were never proven guilty of any crime. Both organizations have got the new name Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jamaat-ud-Dawa.
After the 9/11 attacks, when the international community strained the jihadist extremism, Pakistan banned these two organizations. Since then the jihad organization divided into two factions, Pakistan supporters and anti-Pakistan in 2007, the bloody conflict between extremists and Pakistani forces in Islamabad finally shattered the relationship between Pakistani government and militants. After this, it continued to attack the Indian forces in Pakistan-based extremist Afghanistan and the Indian forces in India-administered Kashmir.
These anti-Pakistan factions targeted security forces and civilians. Thousands of people were killed. However, many of them later changed their mind. But still other groups like the Taliban and al-Qaeda include the fighters of Jaish a top commander of this Pakistan Taliban told the BBC that many jihadists of this Jaish associated with their organization and attacked Pakistani military forces. However, many of these Jaish fighters joined the anti-government groups. These leaders of Jamaat-ud-Dawa and Jaish-e-Mohammad remain loyal to the Pakistan government.
Rein in anti-government extremists
According to this Pakistan Institute of Peace Studies, 2500 people were killed in Pakistan in the terrorist attacks in 2013. In the year 2018, 595 people were killed in such attacks. But the Pakistani security forces have been able to limit the capabilities of anti-government extremists to a large extent. Although he dismisses these allegations, it is believed that in 2016, Jaish has carried out two major attacks in India-administered Kashmir, while Lashkar founder Hafiz Saeed is accused of attacking Mumbai in the year 2008. But still the question remains that these organizations are accused of continuing attacks against India. But what to do with loyal organizations like Jaish and Jamat Uday?
Although he dismissed these accusations, the action against the suspect was being questionably slow. But at that time there were allegations that Pakistan's intelligence agency was also involved in this attack and the activities of these organizations are showing obstacles in the way of this motive. Prime Minister Imran Khan has said in a declaration that his intention is to improve relations with India.
Gray List means that international companies can think twice before doing business with Pakistan. And at this time, Pakistan's economy needs a lot of external investment. Because of the failure to take action on extremist organizations, Pakistan has been put in the gray list of the Financial Action Task Force. According to analysts, last year, the Pakistani army had also proposed to bring extremist groups in the mainstream. Although Pakistani officials have expressed concern that violence against Jam and Jamaat-ud-Dawa directly increases violence.
Although he did not win a single seat, it would be easier to deal with Jaish. A few days later, supporters of Jamaat-ud-Dawa had formed a political party just before the general elections. Imran Khan's party won in these elections. Amir Rana, an analyst with Pakistan Institute of Peace Studies, says that in the last few years, Hafiz Saeed has created a network of ambulances and hospitals in Pakistan. Now the government is taking control of many of these and the administration is not very worried about the response to this organization.
Rana says that the authorities are more concerned about aggressive action by Jays. Recently there was a meeting between the Pakistani army and the politicians. Sources told the BBC that the army has assured the government that the extremist groups will be dealt with. When Jams was banned in 2002, the groups involved in it tried to kill the then military ruler Pervez Musharraf. The Jamaat-ud-Dawa the JUD has also said that they will challenge the government's action in the court.
It is not possible to deal with vigor
However, he also said that the priority of the government is to combat the extremists peacefully. Some proposals that came to the government include opening of Deradicalization centers and giving jobs to these extremists. The government has also received the strange advice of using them as a semi-military force. Although the military officials also believe that these extremists are so much that they cannot be tackled with just strength. Some of these must be brought in mainstream.
By taking control of extremists linked to madrassa and mosques, the Pakistani government will surely get positive headlines for a few days, but the meaning remains what they do after this. A senior leader has told the BBC that now the government is making a sense that the results of these proxy forces are being reversed in Kashmir and the issue of human rights violations being done by India in Kashmir is being overturned by them.
They went to a madrassa in another poor area of Islamabad. It was under the control of the government from the organization of Hafiz Saeed last year. Will these people actually be prosecuted? Will these groups be prevented from doing activities after crossing the border? Do efforts to bring them into mainstream means that the jihad must be removed from the violence. Or is it all just being used to mask the validity? The employees here are the first ones. He explains that only one change has happened that now the local authorities sometimes come to check. This madrassa gets money from the government instead of donation.
