Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is recruiting Pakistani youths for carrying out terrorist acts in India and training them in terror camps in Pakistan- occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Lok Sabha was informed today.
Terrorist training camps continue to function in Pakistan -occupied Jammu and Kashmir. As per reports, there are several terrorist training camps of LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen in PoK, Minister of State for Home Affairs Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary said in response to a query.
"There are inputs that LeT is recruiting vulnerable Pakistani youths for carrying out terrorist acts in India and pushing such trained youths into Indian territory," the Minister said.
Chaudhary said the government has consistently emphasised the need for Pakistan to put an end to cross-border infiltration into India and terrorism, and dismantle the infrastructure of support to terrorism in that country on a permanent basis.
"In the joint statement of January 6, 2004, the Government of Pakistan assured India that it would not permit any territory under Pakistan's control to be used to support terrorism in any manner. India has consistently emphasised to Pakistan the need to implement its solemn assurances of January 6, 2004," he said.
