Claim
Pakistan did not shut down Jaish-e-Mohammed facilities involved in the Pahalgam attack; instead it rebuilt the JeM headquarters that had been destroyed in India's strikes.
“क्या पाकिस्तान ने पहलगाम हमले में शामिल जैश-ए-मोहम्मद के ठिकानों पर ताला लगा दिया? नहीं। उल्टा भारत के हमले में टूट चुके उसके हेड क्वार्टर को फिर से बनवा दिया। यह फैक्ट है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
India's Operation Sindoor (May 2025), launched in response to the Pahalgam attack, struck JeM's Bahawalpur headquarters (Markaz/Jamia Subhan Allah). As of the July 2026 broadcast, satellite imagery reported by MEMRI and Indian outlets (April-May 2026) showed active reconstruction at the Bahawalpur compound and other JeM-linked sites, JeM leader Masood Azhar was openly fundraising for the rebuild, and Pakistan's government had announced compensation and rebuilding support rather than shutting the group's facilities. The core claim is supported; the main caveat is that reconstruction was reported as ongoing (driven by JeM fundraising with alleged state facilitation) rather than a completed state rebuild, a minor overstatement in the anchor's phrasing.
