Exclusive photographs accessed by NDTV reveal a high-level meeting between Senior Commanders of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed at the Jaish headquarters in Bahawalpur, Pakistan – the very site targeted by India during Operation Sindoor. The images show LeT Deputy Chief Saifullah Kasuri seated alongside Jaish commanders, confirming the growing operational coordination between two of Pakistan’s most lethal terrorist organisations responsible for recent attacks across India.

The meeting underscores long-standing intelligence warnings that the Pakistan deep state is actively merging resources of LeT – linked to the April Pahalgam massacre that killed 26 tourists – and JeM – responsible for November’s devastating Red Fort car bomb that claimed 15 lives. Sources confirm the gathering was held inside the sprawling Jaish complex in Bahawalpur, which sustained heavy damage during India’s retaliatory strikes but has since been partially restored for terror planning.

Intelligence officials have simultaneously detected rapid reconstruction of terror launch pads in Rawalakot, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir – another key site destroyed during Operation Sindoor. Fresh reports indicate JeM is actively training a new fidayeen suicide squad while raising funds through digital platforms including Pakistan’s SadaPay app, with financial trails already uncovered during the Red Fort blast investigation involving ammonium nitrate packed into a Hyundai i20.

The resurgence follows a marked escalation since September, with multiple infiltration teams from both LeT and JeM entering Jammu and Kashmir under direct cover from Pakistan’s Special Services Group (SSG) and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). New terror infrastructure, including the Markaz Jihad-e-Aqsa in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Lower Dir region, is being established as replacement hubs after Indian strikes obliterated previous facilities in Bhimber-Barnala and elsewhere.

As Pakistan continues to rebuild its terror ecosystem despite international scrutiny, the confirmed LeT-JeM convergence signals a dangerous new phase of coordinated, high-impact attacks targeting India. Security agencies are on maximum alert, viewing the Bahawalpur meeting as clear evidence that the Pakistani deep state remains fully committed to sponsoring cross-border terrorism even after suffering direct military consequences.
