New Delhi: With Eid-ul-Zuha close at hand, Pakistani terror groups are actively preparing to gather hides of

sacrificed animals in order to raise funds for their jihadi activities.

The collection of hides, subsequently sold to tanneries, is carried out through banned/under observation groups such as Jaish-e-Muhammed, Jammat-ud-Dawa, Tehreek Ghalba-e-Islam, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, Ahle Sunnat wal Jammat and Ansar-ul-Ummah to avert legal action.

JeM issues receipts in the name of Al-Rehmat Trust whereas HuM and Ansar-ul-Ummah do the same in the name of Al-Hilal Trust. JuD uses Falah-e-Insaniyat as a front to raise funds and Ahle Sunnat uses Al-Esar Welfare Trust as a front.

As per the Punjab (Pakistan) home department estimates, as many as 10 million animals were sacrificed on Eid-ul-Zuha last year and their hides evaluated at 35,000 million Pakistani rupees.

As per the inputs from Punjab province (Pakistan), collection of animal hides is a lucrative way for funding of these groups.
