The US has asked Pakistan to abide by its UN Security Council commitments to deny terrorists safe haven and block their access to funds.

This US statement came after India on Wednesday handed over to Pakistan a dossier on "specific details" of involvement of the Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) in the Pulwama terror attack on Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) as also the presence of camps of the UN-proscribed terror outfit in that country.

Forty CRPF personnel were killed in a suicide attack by Pakistan-based JeM in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on February 14, sparking outrage in the country.

바카라Cross-border terrorism, such as the recent attack on India바카라s CRPF on February 14, poses a grave threat to the security of the region. We reiterate our call for Pakistan to abide by its United Nations Security Council commitments to deny terrorists safe haven and block their access to funds,바카라 a State Department spokesperson said.

The Ministry of External Affairs handed over the dossier Pakistan바카라s Acting High Commissioner on Wednesday.

It was conveyed that India expects Pakistan to 바카라take immediate and verifiable action바카라 against terrorism emanating from territories under its control.

Responding to reporters questions over the current situation between India and Pakistan, the spokesperson joined the White House and the Pentagon in urging the two countries to de-escalate their tension and avoid military to resolve their differences.

바카라The United States calls on India and Pakistan to cease all cross-border military activity and for a return to stability,바카라 the spokesperson said.

바카라We urge both sides to take immediate steps to de-escalate the situation, including through direct communication. Further military activity will exacerbate the situation,바카라 the spokesperson said.
