In a show of strength in the Pakistani capital, several banned anti-India militant groups, including the Lashkar-e-Tayiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, on Wednesday vowed to take "revenge" for the execution of Afzal Guru and step up their "Jihad" in Jammu and Kashmir.

'China's actions at the NSG will certainly taint India-China bilateral relations and enhance suspicion of China's intentions.
