Islamabad should impose restrictions on activities of LeT & JeM: Pak's Foreign Minister

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif has said that Islamabad should impose restrictions on the activities of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) to avoid embarrassment on the international level. 

Speaking to Geo News, he warned that the country will continue to face embarrassment if terror groups like LeT and JeM are not reined in. Acknowledging the existence of LeT and JeM operating from Pakistan, Asif said, the country needs to bring its house in order



to prevent facing embarrassment on the international level. He said, Islamabad should impose some restrictions on the activities of elements like LeT and JeM, so that it can show the global community that the country has put the house in order. 

Asif's admission came two days after the BRICS grouping that includes China, for the first time named terror groups like LeT and the JeM among the internationally banned outfits operating from within Pakistan.
