New Delhi: India has reiterated its concerns on developments in Afghanistan and its impact on security amid fears that Afghan soil may be used by Pakistan based terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), against India.
During India’s UNSC presidency last month, a UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2593 was passed. This resolution demands that Afghan territory should not be used to threaten or attack any country or to finance terrorist acts including terror outfits LeT and JeM.
Speaking at a school symposium, Foreign Secretary Harsh Shringla explained, “UNSCR 2593 unequivocally demands that Afghan territory not be used for sheltering, training, planning or financing terrorist acts; and specifically refers to terrorist individuals proscribed by the UN Security Council, including LeT and JeM. The resolution also sets expectations on safe passage and secure departure of Afghans and all foreign nationals from Afghanistan.”
