After Shahbaz Sharif acknowledged publically that India hit Nur Khan airbase on 9 May, 2025, another acknowledgment of damage of LeT's headquarters at Muridke in Punjab by Indian Air Force came from the Pakistan government in the form of a tender issued by the Muridke Municipal Committee and by the Pakistan Procurement Regulatory Authority for repair and reconstruction work in LeT headquarter. The tender mentions the amount of damage inflicted by Indian attacks. The tender of reconstruction has once again proved that Jamat-ud-Dawa, the parent body of LeT is a government body of Pakistan government used to conduct terrorist activities in India, particularly in Jammu & Kashmir.
Another important news was given by the popular Pakistani YouTuber Aliah Shah on her YouTube show that the general secretary of Jamat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Maulvi Sirajul Haque has demanded the release of 'Ilm Dost, Insaniyat Dost' 'Professor' Hafiz Sayeed and asked Pakistan government to be influenced by the 'propaganda' unleashed by India. Aliah Shah posted a video of Maulvi Sirajul Haque's speech and criticised his statement saying that due to these people, Pakistan had been in the grey list of FATF. Now people like Sirajul Haque are demanding his release though the Pakistan government has sent him to 31 years imprisonment. She pointed out that people of Pakistan see him attending meetings and conferences all too often.
However, only days after Sirajul Haques's appeal in favour of Hafiz Sayeed, another Let commander Abu Saifullah was shot dead by some unknown assailants in Sindh. Only a couple of months ago, a right hand of Hafiz Sayeed, Abu Qatal was also gunned down by unknown assailants in Jhelum. But the moral support of the religious organisations like Jamat-e-Islami, financial support by the Pak government and strategic support of the Pak army and the ISI has boosted the morale of the terrorist organisations and the terrorists. Masood Azhar has reportedly vowed to shed blood of Indians again after 14 members of his family were killed in Operation Sindoor.
The reconstruction and repair work in Muridke headquarter will only be done with the IMF money that the US has recommended for its financial bailout. Millions of rupees will be spent to rebuild the terror infrastructure of LeT, not to provide relief to the hungry and poverty stricken people of Pakistan. According to the new conditions imposed by the IMF, more taxes and surcharges on electricity bills will be imposed, delivering another blow to the poor and the middle class.
This is not the first time that the government of Pakistan and the provincial government of Punjab have spent millions on the reconstruction of Muridke centre of LeT.
In June 2013 also, the Punjab government led by Shahbaz Sharif had issued a tender for the reconstruction work in Muridke and had allocated Rs 61 million for this purpose.
Ajmal Kasab the main accused in the attack was said to have received training at the Jamat-ud-Dawa’s Muridke centre called Markaz-e-Taiba which was a state of the art training centre of the banned organisation.
After the Mumbai attacks, the UN Security Council had imposed sanctions on JuD on December 11, 2008 and declared it a global terrorist organisation. The government of Pakistan also had to ban the organisation the same day. The government sealed all its offices in all the four provinces and the Pakistan army raided the centres of LeT and arrested more than 20 leaders and activists of LeT including Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi.
Interestingly, the news of the fund allocation to JuD was first posted on the official website of Pak Defence but after India took note of the news and registered its strong objection against Punjab government’s decision to provided Rs 61 millions to Lashkar-e-Taiba’s parent body, the news was removed from the website
Shahbaz Sharif, who was the chief minister of Punjab owes his political strength to the influence of LeT and Jamat –ud-Dawa. In return, his government has been patronising LeT and JuD. Earlier in 2011, the Punjab government had allocated even a greater sum of Rs 86 million of rupees for various projects of the JuD. A tender was also floated for an educational project of the Muridke centre of JuD where Ajmal Kasab reportedly received his training before setting out for India. (
Jamatud Dawa was earlier known as Jamaatud Daw ail al Quran (JDQ). A Guantanamo Bay detainee Abdul Rahim had stated during interrogation that JDQ had a military wing and carried out assassinations.
Hafiz Sayeed is the most wanted terrorist who was involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. But Maulvi Sirajul Haque of Jamat-e-Islami demands his release.
Therefore, the recent tender of the Pak government for the repair and reconstruction of LeT's headquarter in Muridke should not come as a surprise. It will again reconstruct the LeT headquarter with the direct and indirect US funding and conduct terrorist activities in India. The US and the UN have designed LeT and Hafiz Sayeed terrorists but cannot arrest or eliminate him whereas it hunted down Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad because he had attacked the people of the US inside the US. The US invaded Iraq, Syria and Libya to end terrorism but has ignored terrorists who have unleashed terror in India from Pakistan for the last three decades. The US also does not take notice of individuals openly supporting a designated terrorist called Hafiz Sayeed who despite being convicted and officially serving 31 years of imprisonment is practically free and moves around in Punjab attending seminars, meetings and gatherings inciting people of Pakistan against India and the Kashmiris
Abu Saifullah's dead body was wrapped in Pakistani flag and he was honoured as a martyr for Kashmir. This shows how Pakistan openly glorifies and owns terrorists but the US turns a blind eye to it at the cost of India. Hafiz Sayeed is also guarded and protected by the Pak army to the full knowledge of the US.
Therefore, as long as the US covertly supports the terrorist organisations and provides funds to Pakistan through the IMF and other aid organisations, terrorism will flourish in the region and Pakistan will continue to kill the civilians in India. In this scenario, India will have to rethink its strategy for combating terrorism. The double standards of the US on terrorism has now been fully exposed.
