Pakistani Prime Minister on Friday said no militant group would be allowed to operate from country's soil to carry out attacks abroad, days after his government announced a sweeping crackdown against militant organizations.

Iran Press/Asia: “This government will not allow Pakistan’s land to be used for any kind of outside terrorism,” Imran Khan added while addressing a rally in southern Pakistan.

According to a Reuters report, Khan also said that there was a huge desire to build a peaceful and stable Pakistan.

“We will not allow any militant group to function in our country now,” he said.

Pakistan faces growing international pressure to rein in terror groups that carry out attacks in neighboring India.

The tension between the two nuclear neighbors has risen in recent days after Indian jets intruded into Pakistani airspace.

India had claimed that “several terrorists” were killed in preemptive action on the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) camp, a group that had been listed as a terrorist organization by Islamabad in 2002.

The Pakistani civil and military officials have rejected the claim.

Pakistan bans anti-Iranian terrorist organisations

Pakistan has also banned 70 terrorist organizations including so-called 'Jaish al-Adl' anti Iranian terrorist group.

The Jaish al-Adl terrorist group are responsible for the suicide car-bomb attack which targeted a bus carrying the Iranian Border Guard troops on 14 Feb between the cities of Zahedan and Khash, a volatile area near the Pakistan border where armed groups and drug smugglers frequently operate.

In 14 Feb attack, 27 members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard corpse (IRGC) were killed and at least 10 other wounded. 101/211/202
