According to sources, Hafiz Saeed convened a high-level meeting with Lashkar’s top terror commanders after the Pahalgam attack. During the meeting Talha Saeed, who was instructed to lead the recruitment initiative. Notably, discussions also included ISI’s role in funding this expansion. Hafiz further directed Talha to intensify activities of the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League, the political front of Lashkar-e-Taiba.
This political front operates much like Jamaat-ud-Dawa did in the past—providing recruitment, logistical, and financial support to Lashkar. Hafiz has also reportedly ordered the reactivation of Lashkar’s old terror network to increase its manpower—compensating for the lack of recruits in the Pakistani Army due to public distrust and political disillusionment in provinces like Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
