Pakistan's Bounty on Masood Azhar: A Gimmick, Again? The recent announcement by Pakistan of a PKR 70 lakh bounty on Jaish e Mohammed chief Masood Azhar has been met with skepticism from India.
The move is not unexpected, but it is another example of Islamabad's propensity for making grand gestures that ultimately serve no purpose.
Pakistan's decision to list Azhar in the Federal Investigation Agency's "Red Book" of most wanted terrorists and retain a bounty on his head may seem like a genuine effort to take action against terrorism.
