After a small break, the
defunct Jehadi organisations have started their business
again. Jehadi banners, wall checking and multi-color posters
can be seen everywhere in the city. Jehadi fund boxes
appear in markets and other public places. The Jehadi
media products from which some of these were banned in
January 2002 comes in markets with alternative names.
Their offices are start working, all over the country.
The government of Pakistan had ordered the authorities
to ensure, not to let any Jehadi group to operate from
anywhere in Pakistan. This decision was taken after the
13 January 2002's president Musharraf speech, in which
he announced the ban on five Jehadi and sectarian outfits.
Former federal intieres minister Moeenudin Hyder had.
Launched the aggressive campaign against Jehadi groups
and their all activities were banned in the country. Hafiz
Muhammad Saeed and Maulana Masood Azhar were detained
along with hundreds Mujahideen and sealed this offices
in the most parts of the country. The Jehadi groups went
underground or shifted their networks in Azad Kashmir,
where these groups are openly operating and Azad Kashmir
government did not put a hard hand on them.
The crackdown against Jehad groups was continued till
2002, in Pakistan. It was astonishing during campaign
against Jehadi groups, that most of the Jehadi leaders
except Maulana Azhar and Hafiz Saeed were freely moving
in the country, including Harkatul Mujahideen Chief Maulana
Fazal-Ul-Rehman Kahlil, who was went Afghanistan with
his 100 warriors in November 2002, for fighting against
America. Most of the arrested Mujahideen were only the
workers and the law Inforcement agencies did not successes
in checking the important leadership of the Jehadi groups.
Later these arrested Mujahideen were freed after investigation.
It was also surprising the activities of the most Jehadi
groups including
defunct sectarian organisations, were continued their
business in the
small cities and towns all over the country. Their offices
were openly operating
specially Hizbul Mujahideen, Al-Badar, Harkatul Mujahideen,
Tehrik ul Mujahideen and Al Raseed Trust. Somehow, Jehadi
groups were not so active and their activities were not
seen at large scale, until, August 2002. On the occasion
of Ramzan and Eidul Fitar, most of the Jehadi groups lunched
found rasing campaigns, and setup their camps near the
important civic centers. Jamaat ud Dawa was on the top
and its camps were established all over the country. Now
Jehadi activities are on full swim once again and after
the release of Hafiz Saeed, Maulana Masood Azhar and Maulana
Azam Tariq the Jehadi starts their works on previous lines.
Defunct Jaish-e-Muhammad changes it name as Tehrik Khudam-u-Din,
and still working on militant lines in the country. The
Jehadi media products once again easily available on news
stands, forthrightly "Jaish-e-Muhammad" is converted
into the weekly "Shamseer" and Laskar-e-Taiba's
organ weekly "Jehad Times" is available, with
the name of Ghazva Times. With it same tone and aggression.
Jehadi meetings and programmers are regularly arranging
in their seminaries and Mosques, and mainstream media
is covering their activities. Now Jehadi groups are busy
in arranging the hides' collection campaigns, on the incoming
Eid-ul-Azha. According to a Jamaat ul Dawa's sources,
their target on Eid ul Azha is to collect around 2 crore
rupees, and we will achieve this target very easily, because
last year, besides the all governments strict action,
we were collect 1 core 20 laces rupees in the shape of
donations and hides."
