When India Today reviewed the intelligence information regarding the continuously increasing terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir in recent times, some shocking information came to light. The intelligence report shows that security forces have been targeted in the Jammu region recently. Pakistan Army is likely to be behind the terrorist attacks. Actually, Pakistan Army has created a new syndicate to mediate between many illegal organizations and distribute the work among them.
Talking about the complete planning behind this, at the beginning of last winter, there was a gathering of many notorious terrorist organizations in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. This included Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar, Al Badr commander Bakht Zamin, Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin and many other terrorists. According to intelligence reports, an alliance was formed between the terrorists here.
After this, tasks like recruitment, training, arms and ammunition, funding, ration-water and propaganda were divided among the various terrorist units and everyone was allotted their respective work. Here you will be able to know about the new terrorist cabinet of Pakistan which is responsible for the blood flowing in Jammu and Kashmir before the elections.

Bakht Zamin Khan raises funds for terrorism through his work network. It has also been seen visiting terrorist camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (POK).
