Islamabad:
Police in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir has revealed that groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad are shifting bases to PoK following clampdown on their activities in the wake of the Mumbai terror attacks, a media report said on Monday.
In a confidential report submitted to the government of Pakistan, PoK police has said these groups have acquired large pieces of land in and around PoK capital of Muzaffarabad and are pursuing "jehadi" agenda under the garb of religious activities, a prominent radio network reported.
"After the ban imposed on the Jamat-ud-Dawa (the front of Lashkar-e-Toiba) by the UNSC, Pakistan forces had taken control of their offices... the activities of the outfit had gone underground for some months, but have again become active," the network quoted the report as saying.
The report said that the JuD has constructed a mosque, a school and a dispensary on the land acquired by them in Dulasi and further construction is on.
India has blamed the Lashkar-e-Toiba for carrying out the November 26 Mumbai terror attacks, in which close to 170 people lost their lives. JuD has, however, maintained that it has no links with the LeT.
The PoK police report also mentions the activities of other jehadi organisations like JeM and Harkatul Mujahideen which have also constructed madrassas near Muzaffarabad, the radio said.
JeM, which had carried out attack on Parliament on December 13, 2001, has also set up an office and Madarssa near Muzaffarabad.
Police has noted that most of the activities of the Jehadi organisations have been observed in Neelam Valley, near Line-Of-Control.
Extremists organisations have also set up offices in Kandil Shahi.
