Pakistan's Imran Khan warns militants

No militant group will be allowed to operate on Pakistani soil and carry out attacks abroad, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan says.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan says no militant group will be allowed to operate on Pakistani soil and carry out attacks abroad, days after his government began a crackdown against Islamist militant organisations.

"This government will not allow Pakistan's land to be used for any kind of outside terrorism," Khan said on Friday while addressing a public rally in southern Pakistan.

"We will not allow any militant group to function in our country now."

Pakistan began a crackdown against militant groups this week amid growing international pressure in the wake of a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir by a militant group based in Pakistan.
