Latest reports suggest that Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar has advised his commanders to avoid allopathic treatments as he suspects that doctors practising allopathy in Pakistan are compromised by Indian agencies. It is learnt that Masood, who is currently undergoing treatment for renal issues, has been promoting the Unani method among his close aides.

According to sources, the JeM chief believes that the allopathic doctors, who are treating him, are being influenced by Indian agencies and may even facilitate a move to eliminate him.

Recently, Masood, who was the mastermind behind the Pulwama suicide bombing and Pathankot attack, had released a message in which he states that several Muslims have been administered poison in the name of allopathic medicines. He had also promoted Unani medicines in the message by stating that they are traditional and have been used to treat various ailments since the times of the prophet.
