ISLAMABAD - Pakistan plans to take action against militant groups operating on its soil, a minister said on Monday, amid global pressure to act after a suicide bomber killed 40 Indian paramilitary police in Kashmir last month.
Nuclear-armed Pakistan and India both carried out aerial bombing missions last week and on Wednesday fought a brief dogfight in the skies over the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, but they stepped back from the brink after Islamabad on Friday handed back a captured Indian pilot as a peace gesture.
Pakistan’s powerful military dictates the South Asian nation’s security plans and foreign policy, including relations with India. Pakistan’s English-language Dawn newspaper said a source briefed journalists that a crackdown against militant groups was imminent. That strategy was criticized by civil society groups and the previous civilian government after the emergence of a new party linked to Hafiz Saeed, the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people. Saeed denied a role in the attack but the new party was later banned.Chaudhry said Pakistan would use an “economic, political and administrative strategy” that would adhere to Pakistan’s National Action Plan formulated in 2014, which vowed to stamp out militant groups.
