    Introduction:

    Formed in 1990 in the Kunar province of Afghanistan, the Lashkar-e-Taiba (also known
    as Jama’at-ud-Da’awa) is based in Muridke near Lahore in Pakistan and is headed by
    Hafiz Muhammad Saeed. Its first presence in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) was recorded
    in 1993 when 12 Pakistani and Afghan mercenaries infiltrated across the Line of Control
    (LoC) in tandem with the Islami Inquilabi Mahaz, a terrorist outfit then active in the
    Poonch district of J&K. The LeT is outlawed in India under the Unlawful Activities
    (Prevention) Act.

    The Lashkar-e-Taiba does not believe in democracy and nationalism.


    According to its ideology, it is the duty of every 'Momin' to protect and defend the
    interests of Muslims all over the world where Muslims are under the rule of non-Muslim
    in the democratic system. It has, thus chosen the path of Jihad as the suited means to
    achieve its goal. The Lashkar's ‘agenda’, as outlined in a pamphlet titled Why are we
    waging jihad includes the restoration of Islamic rule over all parts of India. Further, the
    outfit seeks to bring about a union of all Muslim majority regions in countries that
    surround Pakistan. Towards that end, it is active in J&K, Chechnya and other parts of
    Central Asia. Its primary goal is to integrate Jammu and kashmir with Pakistan

    While the primary area of operations of the Lashkar-e-Taiba is Jammu and Kashmir, the
    outfit has carried out attacks in other parts of India, including in New Delhi, Mumbai,
    Bangalore, Hyderabad, Varanasi, Kolkata, Gujarat, etc. It reportedly has cells in many
    cities/towns outside Jammu and Kashmir.

    The outfit provides training to both militant cadres and the Ulema (religious scholars). Its militant
    cadres are given two months training in the handling of AK series rifles, LMGs, pistols, rocket
    launchers and hand grenades. It also provides a 21-day training programme called Daura-e-
    Aam and a three months specialized training programme called Daura-e-Khas.

    The Ulema are provided with a 42-days course. At the time of induction, the young recruits are
    made to go through a fresher course called Bait-ur-Rizwan.
