Pakistan - Banned Organisations
The National Assembly released an updated list of banned organisations in Pakistan on 24 October 2012. The federal government revised the list of banned outfits involved in extremist and terrorist activities across the country in September 2013. According to the new list, there are some 52 proscribed organisations operating across the country at present. On the request of China, the government decided to ban three extremist organisations allegedly involved in insurgent activities in the Chinese province of Xinjiang. These banned outfits include the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) and Islamic Jihad Union (IJU). Interestingly, the various wings of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan were not added to the list.
In January 2015 Pakistan planned to ban 12 terror groups, including notorious Jamaat-ud-Dawa [Jamaatud Dawa is the new name of Lashkar-e-Taiba] and the Haqqani network, which Islamabad has long been reluctant to clamp down on. With the new ban, the number of outlawed groups in Pakistan would reach 72.
