New Delhi:
Pakistan should close terrorist organizations to avoid further conflict with India, as the Pahgam terror attack had brought the country to the brink of war, formerly the United States Pakistani Ambassador Hussain Hakkani said.
Mr. Hakani, a senior partner of the Hudson Institute, said that Pakistan has a well-equipped military, but Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let), Jai-e-Mohammed, Sipah-e-Mohammed-Mohammad-e-Mohammed-e-Mohammed-E-Walking Council has been questioned.
He said in a post on X on Wednesday, “A terrorist attack in Pahalgam brought India and Pakistan to the verge of total war. In future, to avoid this, it is important to close jihadi groups.” “Why does the country need Lashkar, Sipah, Jaish, and their Diffa-e-Watan Parishad, with well-equipped armed forces?” He said.
India has repeatedly slammed Pakistan to fail to work against the infrastructure of terrorists on its soil.
