There are 64 other outfits in the list, which includes Jaish-e-Mohammad ...literally Army of Mohammad, a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin.

On January 14, days before JuD chief Hafiz Saeed was put under "house arrest" in Pakistain, he appeared at a presser held by TAJK chairman Ghulam Mohammad Safi. In the video available with The Hindu, Safi said, "I congratulate Hafiz Saeed that he has declared 2017 as the year of Kashmire and that he has agreed to run his programme under the banner of TAJK." The video was put out by the JuD’s cyber cell and also sports the JuD logo. While the JuD is not banned in Pakistain, it was placed under the category of "organizations under watch" on January 27.
