Terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed has recruited 5,000 women in its women’s wing. According to Masood Azhar, they are being trained for suicide missions. This marks a major change in the strategy of terrorist groups.
Islamabad: Masood Azhar, the leader of Pakistan’s terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), has revealed that 5,000 people have been recruited in the women’s wing of the organization. According to the report, these women cadres are being trained for suicide missions and taught radical ideology. This women’s wing of JeM, named Jamaat-ul-Mominath, is led by Masood Azhar’s sister Saeeda. The aim of this terrorist organization is to strengthen its presence and increase the scope of its operations by recruiting women.
Masood Azhar recently talked about the progress of his women’s wing Jamaat-ul-Mominath in a social media post. She emphasized that more than 5,000 women have joined the group in the last few weeks. It also called for the organization to open offices at all district levels in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) to facilitate recruitment and training.
To handle the work of this wing, a separate office will function in each district under the leadership of a woman head (Muntazima). Masood Azhar also claimed in the post that many women who have joined the unit have said that the organization has given them a purpose to live and has strengthened their faith. He described this progress as rapid and orderly. He wrote that the terrorist group is trying to unite its members under a common ideology and is encouraging members to incorporate these spiritual rules into their everyday lives to create a sense of purpose and devotion.
Change in strategy of terrorist organizations
The formation of the women’s wing of JeM is a sign of a major change taking place in the terrorist organizations in Pakistan. Experts say that showing the changing strategies of terrorist organizations, women are now emerging as new faces in terrorist activities.
Last October, India Today released an audio in which Masood Azhar was talking about a massive plan to recruit, train and deploy women to take on Jaish’s enemies. Masood also assured that any woman who joins the organization will go straight to heaven after death. In the speech, Azhar had also alleged that Jaish’s enemies have recruited Hindu women into the army and pitted women journalists against us.
