In Muridke, Pakistan, the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) has erected a large display board outside its destroyed headquarters, Markaz Taiba, showcasing images from before and after an Indian Air Force strike during Operation Sindoor. Despite more than a year passing since the attack, reconstruction has yet to commence. Funds amounting to PKR 280 million, initially allocated for rebuilding, have allegedly been diverted by LeT for weapon procurement and political activities, with oversight from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). This diversion coincided with Pakistan's efforts to present a façade of action against LeT ahead of a Financial Action Task Force (FATF) visit. Although the Pakistani government claims to have taken control of the site under the National Action Plan (NAP), LeT continues to exercise effective control, undermining the government's narrative. The display board is viewed as a propaganda tool aimed at fueling anti-India sentiment among new recruits, encouraging them to embrace jihadist ideologies.
