Material published by JeM and available in Pakistan shows how conferences and camps are held in the country, with the patronage of JeM chief Masood Azhar, to either recruit terrorists or hail those Pakistanis who die while carrying out attacks in India.
There is also printed material available which speaks about campaigns held by Azhar to collect donations for 'jihad'.
Banners regarding terror training courses organised by JeM are openly put on display in various parts of Pakistan, with an aim of recruiting locals for 'jihad' against India.
For example, one banner spoke about the training courses like Daura-e-Tafseer from February 3 to 17, Daura-e-Tarbia from February 9 to 23 and Daura-e-Asasiya form February 10 to 24 at Markz Sharif in Bahawalpur and Daura-e-Tarbia from February 16 and March 2 to 30 at Jama Masjid Rashidiya in Karachi and Madrasa Sanan bin Salma, Peshawar, respectively.
According to a magazine of February 20, 2018, the JeM's 'Shoba-e-Taaruf' (Department of introduction) delegation visited Lahore for six days and held 13 interaction sessions in which 700 people, including 65 'Ulemas' (religious scholars), participated.

A March 27, 2018 edition of the publication said that JeM's 'Shoba-e-Taaruf' (Department of introduction) delegation visited Sialkot for 4 days.
The delegation, comprising Maulana Mujahid Abbas, Rashid Mushtaq and Abid Mehmood, organised 17 sessions in which 1500 people, including 50 ulemas (religious, scholars) participated, it said.

On November 27, 2017, the publication reported that JeM organised 'Ghazwa-e-Hind' (Holy war against India) conference in district Okara which was attended by 2,000 people.
The conference was addressed by JeM leaders Mufti Abdul Rauf Asghar, Maulana Maqsood and Maulana Abdul Malik Tahir.
In his address, Mufti Abdul Rauf Asghar highlighted the virtues of 'martyrdom' and congratulated parents of the killed terrorists Sajid and Talha.
He stressed that Indo-Pak friendship and bilateral trade would not end jihad as there were many youth ready to sacrifice their lives, like Sajid and Talha, the publications said.
In his address, Maulana Abdul Malik Tahir praised Masood Azhar for his "contribution to jihad".
One article spoke about 'Paigham-e-Shuhda' (martyrs' message) conference held in the Central Eidgah, Barh Abbaskhel in Hangu, a place in Pakistan from where 15 terrorists were killed in anti-terror operations in India.
Those terrorists were praised at the conference as was Masood Azhar for "continuing jihad against the Indian Army in Kashmir".
