Anti-India groups operate openly in Pak

Anti-India groups operate openly in Pak:

Earlier, top US admimistration officials pointed fingers at the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan for the failed Times Square bombing attempt.

Major radical organisations, including anti-India militant groups, continue to operate openly in Pakistan, a US media report said on Monday.

"Banned groups such as Lashkar-e-Tayiba and Jaish-e- Mohammed have formed organisations with new names that operate freely. Some of their leaders have been arrested for alleged links to terrorist attacks; then released by the courts,"The Washington Post said.

Meanwhile, identical statements came from United States Attorney General Eric Holder, and Deputy National Security Advisor John Brennan, who blamed the Pakistan Taliban for the Times Square bomb attempt.

India has repeatedly pointed out that Pakistan has so far been reluctant to take action against anti-India terrorist groups like LeT and JeM and its leaders, against whom New Delhi has provided evidence, are still free. Validating India's contention, The Washington Post said major anti-India militant groups and other radical Sunni organisations in Punjab are still active.
