NEW DELHI: The US has been consistently calling on Pakistan to enhance its efforts in permanently dismantling all terrorist groups, including LeT, JuD, and their affiliated front organizations.
In a press briefing on Monday, State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller emphasized the US persistent call for Pakistan to intensify its efforts in permanently dismantling all terrorist organizations, such as LeT, JuD, and their affiliated front entities.
“We have also been consistent on the importance of Pakistan continuing to take steps to permanently disband all terrorist groups, including Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and their various front organisations,” the spokesperson said.
“We will raise the issue regularly with Pakistani officials, and will continue to work together to counter mutual terrorist threats, as we discussed during our March 2023 CT dialogue,” he said.
Miller was responding to a question on the India-US joint statement issued during the state visit of PM Narendra Modi.
In the joint statement, both US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Modi reiterated the call for concerted action against all UN-listed terrorist groups including al-Qaeda, ISIS/Daesh, Lashkar e-Tayyiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and Hizb-ul-Mujhahideen.
The two leaders strongly condemned cross-border terrorism, and the use of terrorist proxies and “called on Pakistan to take immediate action to ensure that no territory under its control is used for launching terrorist attacks.”
Miller declined to comment on India’s response to former US president Barack Obama’s statement about minority rights in India.
