Musharraf admits JeM carried out attacks in India during his tenure

Pakistan's former president Pervez Musharraf has admitted that Masood Azhar-led Jaish-e-Mohammed carried out attacks in India during his tenure on the instructions of the intelligence agencies.

   

Musharraf,  who is currently in Dubai, said that the Pakistan government's crackdown on the JeM, which also tried to assassinate him twice, was a good move. The JeM recently claimed responsibility for the February 14 Pulwama attack that left 40 CRPF personnel dead, increasing



tensions between India and Pakistan.

   

Last month, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi during an interview  said that Azhar is in Pakistan. Pakistan military, however, denied the terror group's presence in the country. 

Amid mounting international pressure after the Pulwama attack, Pakistan on Tuesday detained 44 members of the banned militant outfits, including  Azhar's son and brother.
