ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan government has banned 25 religious and other
organisations, including the Jamaat-ud-Dawah, Jaish-e-Mohammed and
Lashker-e-Taiba, the interior ministry said on Wednesday.

The ministry presented a list of the banned organisations in the
National Assembly or lower house of parliament. It also said the Sunni
Tehrik had been put on a watch list.

Among the organisations included in the list of outlawed groups are
JuD, LeT, JeM, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariah
Muahammadi, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Al-Akhtar Trust, Al-Rasheed Trust,
Tehreek-e-Islami, Islamic Students Movement, Khair-un-Nisa
International Trust, Islami Tehreek-e-Pakistan, Lashkar-e-Islam,
Balochistan Liberation Army, Jamiat-un-Nisar, Khadam Islam and
Millat-e-Islamia Pakistan.

A majority of the groups have been linked to terrorist attacks and
suicide bombings in Pakistan. India has blamed the JuD, LeT and JeM
for several attacks on its soil, including the Mumbai attacks and the
2001 assault on the Indian parliament.

Pakistan banned the JuD after the UN Security Council declared it a
front for the LeT in December last year. The LeT and JeM were banned
by the country in 2002.
