The agency had announced a PKR 50 lakh bounty on him in 2021.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Sources told ANI that Pakistan&#8217;s latest move is aimed at projecting action against terrorism ahead of the FATF review.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Pakistan had claimed in 2021 that Azhar was no longer in the country and had fled to Afghanistan. The Shehbaz Sharif-led government has since maintained that the JeM chief is not on Pakistani soil.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Five years after announcing the initial bounty, the FIA has now raised it to PKR 70 lakh and included Azhar in its latest Red Book of most wanted terrorists.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>However, the decision of declaring Azhar as &#8216;fugitive&#8217; comes merely to mislead the global community and hide sheltered-terror outfits on its soil.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>In October, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif is also scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump on UNGA sidelines.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Masood Azhar-led Jaish stands responsible for numerous terror attacks in India, including Parliament attack that took place in 2001.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/pakistan\/pakistan-lists-jaish-e-mohammed-chief-masood-azhar-as-fugitive-hikes-bounty-ahead-of-fatf-review\/articleshow\/134238322.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Masood Azhar listed as &#8216;fugitive&#8217;
