Lashkar wanted to raise the issue of Kashmir in front of America

Pakistan's terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba has conspired to raise the issue of Kashmir at the international level. Especially he has tried to raise this issue in front of America itself. For this, a seminar has been organized by the think tank Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS). Its speakers included Pakistani Ambassador to the US Masood Khan as well as US Envoy and former Law Minister of Pakistan Advocate Ahmar Bilal Sufi.
The organizer of the seminar is Abdullah Khan of PICSS, who has been associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba. He is included in the list of banned people of America. As soon as this was known, American Ambassador Michael and Pakistan's Ambassador to America Masood refused to participate in the seminar.
Abdullah has been involved in jihadi publications. According to the Office of Foreign Assets Control website, Abdullah Khan is known as Abdullah Muntazir. According to the US Treasury report, Abdullah Muntazir has been the media officer of Lashkar since 1999.
He has been calling himself an independent journalist, whereas in reality he was involved in promoting terrorism. Muntazir was the director of LeT's media and research organization until mid-2010.
Its purpose was to coordinate talks with the media and monitor the content of Lashkar and raise the agenda of Lashkar to the international level. Muntazir was a member of the political wing of Lashkar till the end of 2000.
Lashkar-e-Taiba was banned on 12 January 2002 during the regime of former President General Pervez Musharraf. America also put 8 people including Abdullah on the terrorist list in August 2012.
Pak Ambassador Masood Khan has known Abdullah since Masood was the chief of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. He used to conduct seminars at Rashtrapati Bhavan in Muzaffarabad. Then he used to call Abdullah a speaker.
Imtiaz Gul, executive director of the Center for Research and Security Studies, said Masood could no longer be seen shoulder to shoulder with someone who is on the US terrorist list. Anyway, Pakistan's foreign policy has gone haywire. In such a situation, Pakistan cannot take any steps to anger America. He said that the Government of Pakistan is also in the dock in this matter.
How can a person included in the terrorist list be made the Managing Director to run this think tank without his knowledge? The chairman of the think tank is Major General (Retd) Saad Khattak. The think tank conducts analysis related to defense and security for policy development leading to peace and stability.
In one of its reports, the think tank asked the terrorist organization Jamaat-ud-Dawa to claim that it has support for its activities. The government will be in trouble if it takes action against him.
