According to the website of the Pakistan government’s National Counter Terrorism Authority (NCTA), the list has been updated on Tuesday.
On February 21, the Pakistan government had announced that it had banned the JuD and FIF, amid intense global pressure to rein in the militant groups following the February 14 Pulwama terror attack that killed 40 CRPF jawans.
The Pakistan government on Monday also put out another order saying it has frozen assets of all UN designated organisations like JuD, FIF.
