Pakistan’s Claim Of Crackdown On Homegrown Terror A Hogwash

In its note to the United Nations Security Council, Pakistan has detailed the steps it has taken to fight terrorists on its soil. The crackdown has been reportedly launched by Pakistan’s internal counter-terrorism authority on terrorists, terror outfits and front organisations that raise terror funds. However, a New Indian Express report says Pakistan’s actions to defeat terrorism have not really yielded any results.
The Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF) unit in Karachi “continues to advertise its fund-raising activities” and Maymar Trust is reportedly using social media platforms to raise funds. The trust’s proxy, Jamia-Tur-Rasheed, is also said to be raising funds even now through Majlis-e-ilmi Society, Pakistan’s largest Islamic commercial bank. Looks like a real crackdown still lies in the distant future.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
