(Anjali Shreya, Intern Journalist): Amid growing pressure to arrest and punish the conspirators of the terror attacks in Mumbai and Pathankot, Pakistan has raised the voice of peace and security in South Asia. India and America recently asked Pakistan to take action against terrorist organizations flourishing on its land in a joint working group meeting against terrorism. Pakistan has been stunned by this demand that rose just before the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) meeting in Paris in October. In the FATF meeting, it will be considered to be added to the blacklist.
Terrorist organizations on Pakistan’s soil were discussed in the meeting of the Indo-US joint working group through video conferencing on 9-10 September. Both countries asked Pakistan to take action against these organizations. Among the organizations against whom action was sought were Al Qaeda, IS, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Muhammad, and Hizbul Mujahideen. Both countries strongly condemned attempts to plot terror and send terrorists across the border. Said that effective efforts need to be made to prevent and eliminate every kind of terrorism.
