Pakistan-Based Terror Groups Fund Terrorism in India Through Charities

Pakistan-based terror groups finance terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir by generating millions in donations through their charity organizations, a National Investigation Agency officer said.

Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), a charity run by terror outfits Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Al Rehmat Trust, backed by another terrorist group Jaish-e- Mohammed (JeM), have been supporting terrorists and funding terrorism in Kashmir, Atul Goel, superintendent of police at the National Investigation Agency (NIA), said.

Goel said the NIA was looking into the activities of JuD, LeT and JeM, as well as the working of trusts associated with them in Pakistan.

"These outfits collect donations from people in Pakistan and then pass on the money to finance terrorism in Kashmir through their overground workers," he said at the "Combating Terrorism: Evolving an Asian Response" session during the 19th Asian Security Conference. The session was chaired by former home secretary G. K. Pillai.
