India slams Pakistan support to Jaish-e-Mohammed

The Modi government on Thursday came down heavily on Pakistan for its patronage to Jaish-e-Mohammed which carried out the terror attack on CRPF convoy in Pulwama and stressed that it would take necessary steps to safeguard national security.

Global powers rallied behind India within hours of the attack. “This heinous and despicable act has been perpetrated by Jaish-e-Mohammed, a Pakistan-based and supported terrorist organisation proscribed by the United Nations and other countries,” said MEA statement.

Global powers USA, Russia and France besides neighbours Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Bangladesh have also condemned Pulwama terror attack.


"The U.S. Mission in India strongly condemns today’s terrorist attack in Jammu & Kashmir...," US envoy to India Ken Juster tweeted.

The Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of India condemns in the strongest terms the horrific terrorist attack in Kashmir’s Pulwama district, which claimed precious lives of more than 40 CRPF personnel and left numerous people injured, a statement issued by the Embassy noted.
