ISLAMABAD - Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said no militant group would be allowed to operate from Pakistani soil to carry out attacks abroad, days after his government announced a sweeping crackdown against Islamist militant organizations.
One such attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Feb. 14, claimed by the Jaish-e-Mohammed Pakistan-based group, killed 40 Indian paramilitary police and led to clashes between the nuclear-armed rivals as India retaliated. Pakistan has a history of using Islamist groups to pursue foreign policy aims in the region, but it has denied Indian accusations it actively supports militants fighting Indian forces in India’s part of Muslim-majority Kashmir.
Crackdowns have been launched with fanfare but faded out after a while, with the proscribed groups able to survive and continue their operations.
