The comments by External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup came in reaction to Pakistan's decision to ban publicity of LeT, JuD and FIF through electronic media.
"We have seen the media reports that Pakistan's electronic media regulator has imposed a ban on publicity of LeT, JuD and FIF through electronic media.
"The relevant notification and its implications need to be studied. At first sight, it does appear that it is a ban merely on publicity through electronic media," he said.
The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has issued a notification banning all TV channels and FM radio from coverage of 72 banned groups including LeT, JuD and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF) under UN restriction.

"The Jamaat-ud-Dawa and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation are the other wings of Lashkar-e-Taiba," the notification said.
This is for the first time Pakistan has admitted that JuD and FIF are "other wings of LeT".
However, India asserted that "a complete and enforceable ban by Pakistan authorities on all activities of all UN-proscribed affiliates of LeT, and other terrorist organisations, active in Pakistan has been long overdue.
The Spokesperson further added that "our stand on the need for Pakistan to act on its oft-repeated assurances to end all terrorism emanating from territory under its control, including the terrorism directed against us, is well known.
