Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) Chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, addressing a press conference in Karachi, on August 2, said Pakistan should not allow United Nations (UN) monitors to "use its soil to tighten the noose around the Taliban regime in Afghanistan." He was reacting to the latest resolution of the UN Security Council on Afghanistan that requires the use of monitors, mainly to be based in Pakistan, to monitor and help enforce an arms embargo against the Taliban regime. According to him, "To allow the monitors (to) operate on Pakistani soil would be an un-Islamic act. The government should not allow the American agenda to be fulfilled against our Afghan brethren."

According to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) Chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, an Afghanistan-like scenario is unlikely to emerge in Jammu and Kashmir after the ‘successful conclusion of Jihad’ as all terrorist outfits are united and free from Western influence. Speaking in Karachi, on August 5, he said Pakistani security forces were ‘defenders’ while the terrorists were ‘offenders’ and there could be no room for any objection on the latter's ‘struggle’. Saeed claimed that it was the repeated terrorist attacks that made the US to feel concerned and force India to invite Pakistan for negotiations on the Kashmir issue.

A spokesperson of the Tehreek-e-Jaferia Pakistan (TJP), in a statement released from Hyderabad, on August 15, criticized President Pervez Musharraf's speech on Independence Day, August 14, in which the President issued a warning that the outfit could be banned in the future. The spokesperson said the warning was an insult to the Shias. According to him, the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi was "simply non-existent and this fact is known to the agencies and the entire nation. The fact was that the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan itself was involved in the bloodshed." He also observed that press reports were testimony to the fact that all arrested terrorists belonged to the SSP.

Pakistan Sunni Tehreek Chief Abbas Qadri, in a statement released from Karachi, termed the government's decision to proscribe the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and the Sipah-e-Muhammad Pakistan (SMP) as’mere eyewash’. According to him, the Federal government was resorting to "pretentious steps to perpetuate the rule instead of initiating concrete measures to root out the problem of sectarian violence." He also added that if the government was sincere in its approach towards sectarianism it should immediately impose a ban on the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) as also raid their seminaries to recover illegal weapons. Qadri claimed that it was the SSP that provides funds to the Jaish-e- Muhammad (JeM) and the LeJ for terrorist activities.

Pakistani news sources quoting senior Federal government officials have indicated that the current crackdown against terrorist outfits would continue. These reports observed that local terrorist groups claiming ‘credit’ for the ‘Kashmiri freedom struggle’ are considered to be an embarrassment for Pakistan internationally. Explaining the context of the crackdown in Karachi against terrorist outfits active in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said placing boxes for funds for Kashmir at every turn of the road by outfits not connected with the ‘freedom struggle’ was embarrassing for Pakistan. News reports have also added that the terrorist outfits were allegedly given a two-month time to redirect their public operations and scale down their presence. This was meant, according to sources, to pre-empt any possible backlash.
