US Congressman slams Pakistan over terror safe havens

US Congressman Brad Sherman has publicly condemned Pakistan as a 'terror hub' and called for a clampdown on the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militant groups. His statement references the 2025 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people, which he linked to The Resistance Front, a proxy of LeT. Sherman made the remarks during a speech at a Capitol Hill exhibition in Washington, urging global cooperation against terrorism. The call comes amid ongoing tensions over cross-border militancy and US-India counterterrorism cooperation.
