Pakistan’s actions against India-focussed groups, however, have been far more nuanced. While direct ISI funding of groups such as the Jaish and the Lashkar has been terminated, and their training bases shut down or relocated, Pakistan has avoided dismantling their infrastructure. ISI strategists have focussed, instead, on the construction of firewalls between Islamist groups operating against India, like the Lashkar, and those like Al-Qaeda — a bid to ensure resources meant for fighting Pakistan’s enemy to the east are not used to target either friends in the west, or at home.
