India and the United States have asked Pakistan to take quick and irreversible action against terrorism

India and the US have urged Pakistan to take "immediate and irrevocable" action against all terrorist networks, including Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar e-Taiba (LeT), and to guarantee that no area under its control is exploited in any way for terrorism against other nations.

Following the second high-level Indo-US 2+2 Dialogue on Thursday, a joint statement was released calling on Pakistan to identify and punish the perpetrators of cross-border terrorist acts.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and their American counterparts, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Mark Esper, met in Washington on Wednesday.

The Ministers condemned all kinds of terrorism and urged for coordinated action against all terrorist networks, including Al Qaeda, ISIS/Daesh, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), the Haqqani Network, Hizbul Mujahideen, TTP, and D-Company.

"The Ministers called on Pakistan to take an immediate, sustained and irreversible action to ensure that no territory under its control is used for terrorism against other countries in any manner and to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators of cross-border terrorist attacks, including 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot," the statement added.
