Jamaat hawala network revives to fund terror and influence Bangladesh polls
The Jamaat-e-Islami, a religious and political organization, has reactivated its hawala network to raise money.
This money is being used to support terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
The network is also funding activities in Bangladesh to influence the upcoming elections.
The ISI, Pakistan's intelligence agency, is behind this plan.
They want to create more violence and possibly rig the elections to bring the Jamaat to power.
The money is also being used to train terrorists and set up new terror groups in Bangladesh.
This is causing concern in India because it could lead to more trouble in the northeastern states and West Bengal.
Jamaat-e-Islami's hawala network is active again, raising funds for terror groups and influencing Bangladesh elections.
The network is collecting money to revive the infrastructure of groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
The ISI has instructed the Jamaat to raise funds for terror operations, training, and logistics.
Funds are also being diverted to Jammu and Kashmir to set up an all-women overground worker module.
The ISI aims to influence Bangladesh elections by funding violence and potentially rigging the elections to favor the Jamaat.
