US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Tuesday that the US would ask Pakistan as also other member states to "adhere completely" to the United Nations Security Council sanctions on militant organisations. "I know the Pakistani government to be a government that wants to deal in good faith with the world.

"It's a new civilian government that is a legitimate government that wants very much to be respected in international politics and, by the way, wants to deal with the terrorism problem, that is itself having dire consequences in Pakistan.

"I expect that there will be co-operation," she told reporters at the world body's headquarters in New York. Rice comment's came when an Indian reporter drew attention to a statement by Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi that charitable arms of the Jama'at-ud-Da'awah would not be closed down.
