In a recent press conference, Matthew Miller, the State Department Spokesperson, reiterated the United States’ persistent call for Pakistan to intensify its efforts in permanently disbanding all terrorist groups operating within its borders. Miller emphasized the importance of dismantling organizations such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and their various front organizations, which have long posed significant threats to regional and international security.

“We have consistently stressed the significance of Pakistan’s continuous steps in permanently disbanding all terrorist groups, including LeT, JeM, and their affiliated entities,” Miller affirmed. He further stated that the US would maintain an ongoing dialogue with Pakistani officials, with the shared objective of effectively countering mutual terrorist threats. Notably, this commitment was emphasized during the Counterterrorism (CT) dialogue held in March 2023.

The joint statement issued during the state visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the United States also underscored the need for concerted global action against all UN-listed terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda, ISIS/Daesh, LeT, JeM, and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen. Both President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Modi unequivocally condemned cross-border terrorism and the utilization of terrorist proxies. They urged Pakistan to take immediate action to ensure that no territory under its control serves as a launching pad for terrorist attacks.

When questioned about former US President Barack Obama’s remarks regarding minority rights in India, Miller refrained from commenting on India’s response. However, he highlighted the United States’ ongoing discussions with Indian officials concerning human rights concerns. Miller referenced President Biden’s joint press conference with Prime Minister Modi, where the US leader himself addressed the issue.
