Islamabad, July 21 (IBNS): The United States has voiced its concern over the participation of Lashkar-e-Taiba-affiliated (LeT) individuals in the July 25 elections in Pakistan, media reports said.

The US has conveyed its concern to Pakistan over the issue.

“We have repeatedly expressed our concerns to the Pakistani government about LeT, including the participation of LeT-affiliated individuals in the elections,” a statement issued by the US State Department said, reported Dawn News.

In the statement as reported by Dawn News of Pakistan, the department noted with satisfaction that the Pakistan Election Commission had rejected the registration of Milli Muslim League(MML) in June, “citing its linkages to LeT, an internationally-sanctioned terr­orist organisation”.

In a similar statement issued in Brussels, the European Union urged Islamabad to ensure that electoral activities in all parts of Pakistan continued in “safe and secure conditions”, reported Dawn News.

Elections are scheduled to be held in Pakistan on July 25.
