New York, Dec 10: Under extreme international pressure, Pakistan has given an undertaking to the UN Security Council that it would proscribe Jamaat-ud-Dawa, the parent body of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), suspected to have carried out the Mumbai terror attacks, if the Council declares it a terrorist organisation.

Islamabad has also assured the world body that all training camps of Lashkar-e-Taiba or any entity of this nature would not be allowed on its territory.

The undertaking given by Pakistan's ambassador to UN Abdullah Hussain Haroon came after India had sent a formal request to the council to put sanction on JUD and its leaders.

Addressing the council during a debate on terrorism, where the Mumbai carnage was in focus, Haroon said that moves would be set into motion to freeze assets of the JUD, if the council puts sanctions on the outfit.

"After the designation of Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JUD) under (resolution) 1267, the government on receiving communication from the Security Council shall proscribe the JUD and take other consequential actions, as required, including the freezing of assets," he said.

He told the council that Pakistani authorities had already initiated investigations on its own pertaining to allegations of involvement of its citizens and entities in the Mumbai attacks.
