Pakistan puts PKR 70 lakh bounty on Masood Azhar in an attempt to escape FATF's grey list

In a bid to mislead world, Pakistan announced PKR 70 lakh bounty on Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar in its latest Red Book of most-wanted terrorists, categorising him as fugitive. This comes ahead of FATF's plenary as Pakistan seeks to avoid returning to grey list. Earlier, reports claimed Islamabad spent PKR 25 crore rebuilding JeM's Bahawalpur HQ destroyed in Operation Sindoor.
