Slamming the Islamic Republic of Pakistan for providing a safe haven to terrorist outfits on its soil, the United Kingdom (UK)'s Foreign and Commonwealth Office Director Gareth Bayley has called on Pakistan to take non-reversible action against terrorism, reports Asian News International (ANI).
Bayley underscored that all the evidence against Pakistan have been put on the table and that Pakistan has to do a lot more and take non-reversible action in this respect. Bayley was speaking at a session in the ongoing Raisina Dialogue 2020.
"It is absolutely clear that terrorist groups are operating from within Pakistan. They pose a serious challenge to the Pakistan Government and the South Asian region as well," noted Bayley.
The call on Pakistan to act against terrorism emanating from its soil and pursue non-reversible action in this respect by the UK comes at a time when Pakistan is at the risk of being black-listed by the global terror-financing and money laundering watchdog Financial Action task Force (FATF).

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
