The move comes after weeks of heightened tensions in South Asia after a massive suicide bombing in Kashmir killed 40 Indian troops on February 14, with the attack claimed by Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed. The incident prompted New Delhi to carry out air strikes inside Pakistan and an Indian pilot was shot down in a dogfight with Pakistani aircraft. Pakistan's foreign office said in a statement that the government had issued the "United Nations Security Council (Freezing and Seizure) Order, 2019." #Pakistan Govt "once again" plans decisive crackdown on #militant outfits. Islamabad has banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), groups believed to be fronts for the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.
