What is Jaish-e-Mohammed?

Since its conception, it has targeted several Indian officials, government buildings, soldiers as well as non-Muslim civilians in both India and Pakistan. The group is believed to have carried out the suicide bomb attack outside the J&K state assembly building in October 2001 which led to the death of 38 people. While the JeM had first claimed responsibility for the attack, it had later denied it. The Jihadist group is also accused of having carried out the attack on the Indian Parliament in December 2001. setTimeout(function(){(function(id){var embedTag=document.getElementById(id).children[0]; if(embedTag){var width=embedTag.offsetWidth; var height=embedTag.offsetHeight; embedTag.height=document.body.offsetWidth * (height/width); embedTag.width=document.body.offsetWidth;}})("embed-quint-brightcove-iframe-tag-0");},1000); The Pakistan government banned the JeM along with few other such groups in 2002. Since then it has resurfaced on several occasions under different names. Intelligence services in India consider the group to be the 'deadliest' and 'the principal terrorist organisation in Jammu and Kashmir'. India has repeatedly asked for listing Azhar as a 'global terrorist' by the United Nations. However, in 2018 China blocked the move stating that the issue lacks 'consensus' among members of the UN Security Council. Last time the JeM was accused of carrying out an attack in India was in 2016 at the Pathankot airbase. Pakistan was also accused of having assisted the organisation, however, the country's government denied the allegations.
