Pakistan may pay Rs 14 crore compensation to terrorist Masood Azhar

Pakistan's Shahbaz government may pay Rs 14 crore as compensation to the head of the terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed and designated a terrorist by the US, Masood Azhar, for the death of 14 of his family members killed in recent Indian air strikes.

According to a press release issued by the Prime Minister's Office of Pakistan, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has announced a compensation of Rs 1 crore per deceased to the legal heirs of those killed in the attacks under India's Operation Sindh.

It is noteworthy that India targeted terror camps in Bahawalpur, which is Pakistan's 12th largest city and a stronghold of Jaish-e-Mohammed, under Operation Sindh. The city houses the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed at Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah, also known as the Usman-o-Ali campus.
