New Delhi, Apr 3: India on Tuesday welcomed the US administration decision to designate the
Pakistan-based Milli Muslim League as "an alias of Lashkar-e-Taiba
(LeT)" and said the move "vindicates" India's position.
"India welcomes the action taken by the US for
designating the Milli Muslim League as an alias of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a
Pakistan based terrorist group and its functionaries who are acting on behalf
of LeT. It vindicates India’s position that Pakistan has not taken effective
action against terrorist groups and individuals," the MEA spokesperson
said in response to media queries.
"It is also cognisance of the fact that terrorist individuals and entities are allowed to change names and continue to operate freely from territory under Pakistan’s control," the spokesperson said adding the the decision of the US administration "is a rejection of the attempts being made in Pakistan to mainstream terrorist individuals and entities".
This also highlights Pakistan’s "failure to fulfill" its international obligation to dismantle terrorist sanctuaries, and disrupt terror financing, he said.
The Milli Muslim League is an Islamist political party established in Pakistan in 2017.
On April 2, 2018, the US Department of States said MML is a political frontier of terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-ud-dawah. The Department of State has also amended the designation of LeT to include the aliases MML and another organisation Tehreek-e-Azaadi Jammu and Kashmir (TAJK), which India has already claimed to be a front for Hafiz Saeed's Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD).
