Jaish-e-Mohammed: Pakistan’s Proxy of Jihad Against Bharat

 

For years, Bharat has borne the brunt of Islam and its terrorism. From the burning streets of Kashmir to the indoctrination of Jihad from north to south, east to west, Islamic terrorism has always attempted to paralyse Bharat, and the last evenings of Bharat were the impact of Islam’s Jihad over and against Bharat, translating into death and destruction.

 

The cold evening of November 10 soon turned into mourning when 13 people were killed in a bomb blast as a car exploded near the Lal Quila metro station near the Red Fort in Delhi at 6:52 p.m., leaving 24 people injured. Before the explosion, a “slow-moving” vehicle “came to a stop” near a red light around 6:42 p.m. local time, Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha told reporters.

 

“An explosion occurred in that vehicle. The passengers in the vehicle and people in surrounding vehicles were impacted,” Golcha said.

 

At least six vehicles and three autorickshaws were set on fire, according to Delhi’s Deputy Fire Chief.

 

The blast was so gruesome that the ambulance driver told the media, “The bodies were in parts, and we had to pick different parts and bring them back in the ambulances, and later brought them to the hospital.”

 

 

Authorities have anticipated that the recently dismantled Jaish-e-Mohammed’s white-collar terrorism module could be behind it.

 

The security establishment revealed that the car blast was likely a result of panic and desperation of another part of the terror network because the vigilant security agencies effectively exposed their bases and hideouts throughout Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

 

A senior official disclosed, “Raids by security agencies across multiple locations in Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region) and Pulwama, which led to the recovery of nearly 3,000 kilograms of explosives, are believed to have forced the suspect to act hastily under mounting pressure,” as reported by The Times of India.

 

TOI has reported that the device used for the explosion was not completely developed and was only loosely put together, which limited its impact and proved the rush to act. There was no crater left by the explosion, and no bullets or shrapnel were discovered.

 

 

 

Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is one of the most dangerous Pakistan-based Islamist terror organisations, founded in 2000 by Masood Azhar after his release from Indian custody following the IC-814 hijacking. With the declared objective of “liberating Kashmir,” JeM has waged a bloody jihad against Bharat through suicide bombings, fidayeen assaults and cross-border infiltration. From the 2001 Parliament attack to Pulwama in 2019, its fingerprints are found on some of the deadliest strikes on Indian soil. Protected and nurtured by Pakistan’s deep state, JeM operates freely from Bahawalpur, recruiting and radicalising youth. Its ideology blends fanaticism, deception and anti-establishment hatred.

 

The report below mentions the gruesome attacks on Bharat by the Islamic terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed.

 

 

On 1 October 2001, Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) struck at the heart of Indian democracy in Jammu and Kashmir. A car packed with explosives rammed into the gates of the J&K Legislative Assembly in Srinagar, killing 38 innocent people, most of them security personnel and civilians.

 

 

The attack came just weeks after 9/11 and exposed how Islamabad’s deep state continued to export jihad even as the world united against terror. It was one of the earliest large-scale suicide attacks by JeM on Bharat’s soil, setting the tone for their decade-long campaign of cross-border terrorism.

 

 

On 13 December 2001, Bharat’s very temple of democracy, the Parliament House in New Delhi, came under direct assault. Armed with AK-47s, grenades and explosives, five JeM and Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists stormed the complex, killing nine security personnel and one gardener before being neutralised.

 

 

The plot was chilling: an attempt to decapitate Bharat’s political leadership. Had it succeeded, the nation could have faced constitutional chaos. This audacious act exposed the Pakistani state’s complicity in sponsoring terror and led to a full-scale military standoff, Operation Parakram, between Bharat and Pakistan.

 

 

In the early hours of 2 January 2016, heavily armed JeM terrorists infiltrated the Pathankot Air Force Station in Punjab, a critical defence installation housing fighter jets and weapon systems.

 

 

After a fierce three-day gun battle, seven Indian soldiers were martyred and all six terrorists eliminated. The attack came just days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s goodwill visit to Lahore, underlining Pakistan’s duplicity, speaking peace at the table but exporting terror across the border.

 

 

On 18 September 2016, four JeM militants carried out one of the deadliest attacks on the Indian Army in recent memory. In the Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir, terrorists infiltrated the Line of Control and ambushed an army camp in the early hours, killing 19 brave soldiers in their sleep.

 

 

The nation was outraged. Bharat, under PM Modi’s leadership, broke from past restraint by launching surgical strikes across the LoC, destroying multiple terror launchpads. The message was clear: Bharat will not tolerate the bloodshed of its soldiers without retribution.

 

 

On 14 February 2019, JeM struck again, this time in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, with a suicide bombing so brutal that it shook the entire nation. A local youth, radicalised and armed with RDX-laden explosives, rammed an SUV into a CRPF convoy, killing 40 jawans.

 

 

It was one of the deadliest terror attacks in independent Bharat’s history. The outrage was nationwide, and the response was decisive, the Balakot airstrikes, where the Indian Air Force crossed into Pakistan and struck JeM’s biggest training camp. The Pulwama attack became a turning point in Bharat’s counter-terror policy, marking the end of Bharat’s era of strategic restraint.
