'PKR 21,000 per supporter': Jaish’s digital wallet scheme to rebuild 313 terror hubs across Pakistan

Months after India’s Operation Sindoor crippled the terror infrastructure in Pakistan, Jaish-e-Mohammed’s ‘313 Mosque Funding Initiative’ has kicked off a massive drive to construct 313 mosques-cum-camps across Pakistan. Each unit costs around PKR 12.5 million, with supporters urged to donate PKR 21,000 each through digital wallets, enabling seamless fund transfers.

According to OSINTTV, funds have already been collected for 152 such projects, and foundations for 20 more will be laid this year. As reported by Moneycontrol earlier, Jaish is seeking nearly PKR 3.91 billion to rebuild its network post-Operation Sindoor. The Financial Action Task Force, tasked with curbing terror financing, has yet again failed, allowing terrorist outfits to openly mobilise millions while Islamabad looks away.

The use of digital wallets allows the group to bypass traditional banking scrutiny and makes tracing individual contributions difficult. Pakistani authorities have largely ignored the scheme, even as the campaign’s figures circulate on social media. Experts say the initiative reflects a broader strategy of embedding terror infrastructure within religious spaces, providing cover from domestic and international scrutiny.

Moneycontrol had highlighted how Jaish has revived its “Markaz” system, with the 313 figure symbolising a historic Islamic battle to inspire recruits. Security analysts warn that these facilities are likely to double as indoctrination centres and logistical hubs for cross-border operations.

India’s Operation Sindoor had targeted several major Jaish-linked facilities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Yet within months, the group appears to be openly rebuilding under Islamabad’s nose. The episode underscores Pakistan’s pattern of allowing banned outfits to rebrand and resume activity despite international pressure.
