Pakistan-backed terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) has now opened a new front in its terror campaign, that is the women’s Jihadi Brigade. A 21-minute audio message of the organization’s leader Maulana Masood Azhar has surfaced in which he is presenting the complete blueprint of this new women’s wing named ‘Jamaat-ul-Mominat’.
This audio was released at Markaz Usman O Ali in Bahawalpur, from where Azhar has given a detailed blueprint of recruitment, training and religious fundamentalist indoctrination of women.
New training course for women
According to Masood Azhar, just as male terrorists of Jaish undergo a 15-day course called ‘Daura-e-Tarbiat’, similarly women will undergo training called ‘Daura-e-Taskia’. After this, the second phase will be ‘Daura-Ayat-ul-Nisa’, in which they will be taught how women can do Jihad according to Islamic texts.
Azhar claimed in his speech that ‘the woman who joins Jamaat-ul-Mominat will go straight to heaven after death.’
Organizational structure and strict rules
Azhar said that a branch of Jamaat-ul-Mominat will be formed in every district of Pakistan, whose head will be ‘District Muntazima’. These female members will be prohibited from talking to any non-Mahram man on phone or message.
Azhar’s sisters and connection with terrorist family
Previous investigations have revealed that Azhar has made his sister Sadia Azhar the head of the women’s wing. His other sisters Sameera Azhar (Umm Masood) and Afira Farooq (widow of Pulwama attacker Omar Farooq) are also involved in the leadership. These women are running a recruitment campaign through online classes, which started from October 25.
There are 45 women in these classes whose husbands or relatives were killed in encounters with the Indian Army. These are being used to motivate new recruitment under a publicity campaign called ‘Shoba-e-Daawat’.
Mention of Operation Sindoor
Masood Azhar said in an emotional tone that his sister Hawa Bibi was killed during India’s Operation Sindoor. She told that she had prepared the idea of this women’s jihadi wing with her sister. 14 members of Azhar’s family were killed in this operation, which included Yusuf Azhar, Jamil Ahmed, Hamza Jamil and Huwaifa Azhar.
Pakistan’s dual policy
Although the Pakistan government formally declares organizations like Jaish-e-Mohammed banned, but recent incidents make it clear that Islamabad is giving free rein and indirect support to these terrorist networks. Experts believe that due to the new geopolitical circumstances at the international level, Pakistan is again becoming bold and promoting terrorists.
This audio recording highlights the new strategy of Jaish-e-Mohammed. Now this terrorist organization is arming not only men but also women in the name of Jihad.
