Pakistan has termed the specific reference to Pakistan in the joint statement of the US and India as ‘one-sided and misleading’ and against diplomatic values.
It should be noted that after the meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden at the White House, the joint statement issued by the White House condemned cross-border terrorism and ‘proxy groups’ and demanded Pakistan to It should ensure that its territory is not used for terrorist attacks. ‘
The declaration called for strict action against banned organizations Al-Qaeda, Islamic State (ISIS), Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Hizbul Mujahideen.
Pakistan’s foreign office has said in a statement that “we are surprised that this passage was made a part of the statement despite cooperation with the United States on counter-terrorism.”
