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."

Pakistan-based terrorist outfits active in Jammu and Kashmir indicated, on August 21, that they would resist orders to withdraw fund-raising boxes and sign boards from public places under a crackdown by the Sindh provincial government. Umer Farooq, a leader of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) said, "we are sitting in our offices and our signboards are very much there." The Lashkar's ‘Information Secretary’ Imran Alam blamed the government for "appeasing the western powers". Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) leader Hafiz Idrees observed that "can they stop the people from joining Jihad or donating funds even if they remove sign boards and boxes? This is unfortunate as people used to contribute funds voluntarily for Jihad, and we are not very far from victory in Kashmir." The Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), in a statement, said that it would continue raising funds for terrorist operations in Jammu and Kashmir. According to a Jaish spokesperson "We have not started Jihad on the order of the government nor can any ruler ask us to stop it."

While rejecting the Federal government ban on fund collection, also demanding Interior Minister Moinuddin Haider's dismissal, terrorist outfits on August 24 have announced a vigorous fund-raising campaign in Punjab. The announcement was made in Lahore after a meeting of the Punjab Chiefs of seven terrorist outfits, held at the Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen (TuM) office and chaired by Punjab TuM chief Shakilur Rehman Nasir. A joint committee was constituted under TuM Shakilur Nasir to start a dialogue with the Ulemas (religious leaders) and leaders of political parties to apprise them of their ‘responsibilities’ in the present situation. In a joint statement, the outfits said that the government should distinguish between jehad funds collection and extortion. While indicating that terrorist outfits neither possessed illegal arms nor were any of their members involved in sectarian activities they also added "Kashmir Jihad did not depend on the Pakistan government. It would continue till the liberation of Kashmir that amounts to the completion of the Partition formula." Replying to a question about the indication of a ban on all terrorist outfits, they observed that President Gen. Pervez Musharraf had been supporting their ‘cause’ but it was the Interior Minister who was "talking different things and his removal will settle the entire controversy." The outfits also asked the government to reject foreign pressure and prioritise national interests. They said that the government was fulfilling the "wishes of enemies who wanted Mujahideen to get entangled with internal matters and abandon Jihad." The outfits that attended the meeting were the TuM, Harkat-ul-Ansar (HuA), Jamait-ul-Mujahideen (JuM), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) and Al-Badr Mujahideen. The statement also added that the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) was with them and the decisions had the backing of Jaish’s central leadership.
