Pakistan 'categorically' rejects Indian media report claiming outlawed organisation involved in relief work
Pakistain on Friday "categorically" rejected an Indian media report claiming that an outlawed organization was involved in relief work following the devastating floods in the country.

"Pakistain categorically rejects the contents of the story. It only betrays India's bias and prejudice towards Pakistain, and is part of India’s regular and continuing attempts to mislead the international audience," said Foreign Office Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar Ahmad.

The spokesperson reminded us that this was "not the first time that the Indian media have shown their proclivity to carry baseless and motivated stories to further a political agenda".

"It is also unfortunate that while the international community is single-mindedly focused on helping Pakistain in the wake of an unprecedented natural calamity, some elements in the Indian media are attempting to cast doubts on the relief efforts," said the spokesperson.

Pakistain reiterated that "strong and robust regulatory and oversight mechanisms" are in place to "monitor flood relief activity by non-profit and non-governmental organizations".

"All relevant agencies are vigilant in ensuring that no illicit activity is carried out under the garb of relief efforts," clarified the spokesperson.

The report that was being responded to was a Times of India story claiming that groups like the banned 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...
(LeT) and other hard boy groups "have come out in full strength to deliver relief work and help the flood-affected masses".

It also claimed that Islamabad has banned international NGOs from carrying out flood relief work despite making a global appeal for help.
