Continued Infiltration
The continued infiltration of the Jaish-e-Mohammad, a Pakistan-based Deobandi Jihadist Mujahideen group, into India’s Kashmir region raises questions on the false propaganda spread by Pakistan and Pakistan’s PM Imran Khan, on various international forums where it has repeatedly portrayed itself as a nation that doesn’t harbor terrorist outfits or supports them. Terrorist organizations like JeM get continued support from the likes of ISI and other Pakistan-based organizations that continue to infiltrate the Kashmir valley and disrupt peace and stability in the region.
