| ‘We hoped Pak would understand’: US denounces Islamabad’s support for terror proxies |

| [HINDUSTANTIMES] In the sharpest denouncement yet of Pakistain’s support for terrorism by the Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... administration, United States national security adviser HR McMaster expressed frustration on Sunday with Islamabad’s continued use of "proxies that engage in violence". "As all of us have hoped for many, many years -- we have hoped that Pak leaders will understand that it is in their interest to go after these groups less selectively than they have in the past," he told ToloNews, an Afghan TV channel. "The best way to pursue their interests in Afghanistan and elsewhere is through the use of diplomacy, and not through the use of proxies that engage in violence," the national security adviser added in the interview during a visit to Afghanistan. That "elsewhere" was interpreted among India watchers in the US as the Trump administration’s nod to New Delhi’s concerns about terrorist strikes carried out in India by outfits based in Pakistain such as Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... and Jaish-e-Mohammad ...literally Army of Mohammad, a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf bannedthe group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat... McMaster goes next to Pakistain and India in the midst of a review of the new administration’s policy for the region that is being closely watched on the subcontinent and among South Asia policy experts and pundits in DC. |
