The JuD has been declared as a foreign terrorist operational organization by the United States in June 2014.

The 26/11 terrorist attack was planned, executed and launched from Pakistan territory. We once again call on the government of Pakistan to give up double standards and expeditiously bring perpetrators of horrific attack to justice.”
