After the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives, Jamil Maqsood, leader of United Kashmir People's National Party, called on the international organisations to sanction Pakistan for "exporting terrorist organisations like Lashkar-e-Taiba and The Resistance Front.
In a self-recorded video, Maqsood expressed his grief and offered condolences to the families affected by the attack on Tuesday.

We have been demanding continuously from the international community and organisations that are working as watchdogs for these issues," Jamil Maqsood said.
"I condemn this heinous attack against innocent tourists. We demand that the United Nations Security Council, Financial Action Task Force and other institutions to sanction Pakistan for exporting terrorist organisations like LeT, TRF and others. All these terrorist organisations are getting the blessings of Pakistani security agencies, Pakistani government," the United Kashmir People's National Party leader said.
