India on Friday asked the international community to take note of the efforts to change the nomenclature of Jamaat-ud-Dawa and force Pakistan to act against the terror machine.
External affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee, who stressed that the Pakistan government has the responsibility to act against Dawa said the international community should take appropriate action if Islama-bad fails to comply with commitments to UN and other commitments.
���When LeT was banned, it came up as JuD. Now it has been banned, and JuD might have taken another name. This is the pattern we have noticed in Pakistan,��� Mr Mukherjee told reporters here. ���It is the responsibility of Pakistan government to stop activities of these banned organisations in any form, in any name, in any shape,��� he said.
The Lashkar-e-Toiba, which began as the jihadi wing of the Markaz Dawa Wal-Irshad had changed its name to Jamaat-ud-Dawa when it faced a ban after the attack on Indian Parliament. According to reports, the organisation is in the process of adopting a new name -- Tehreek-e-Hurmat-e-Rasool (Movement for defending the honour of God) -- to avoid restrictions.
Mr Mukherjee said if Pakistan does not comply with the UNSC ban, it is for the international community to ���take appropriate action���. The minister said India has asked Pakistan to fulfill these commitments and take action against terror groups.
