Pakistan's 'Jihad 2.0': Shehbaz Sharif, Mullahs Alliance Against India

• Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif is forming a dangerous alliance with radical clerics to revive the 'jihad' narrative in Kashmir and wage 'information warfare' against India.
• Hafiz Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi, known for links with Jaish and Lashkar, has been appointed as Sharif's special coordinator, indicating deeper ties with terror groups.
• Mosques and Friday prayers in Pakistan will be used to spread anti-India messages and promote 'Kashmir Jihad', with the Pakistan Army (ISPR) and government collaborating.
• Pakistan aims to rebuild terror infrastructure destroyed during India's 'Operation Sindoor' and use AI/bot networks for digital terrorism in Kashmir.
• India views this as a desperate move; Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi warned of a strong response to any misadventure, similar to 'Operation Sindoor'.

Why It Matters: Pakistan is reviving 'Jihad 2.0' with a dangerous alliance of government and clerics to target India.
