India Asks Un Security Council To Act Against Pak based Terror Groups In Afghanistan

17 March ,Geneva

India has asked the UN Security Council to act against Pakistan-based terror groups in Afghanistan.

India’s Ambassador to the UN, Asoke Mukerji, in the Security Council debate on United Nations Assistance Mission for Afghanistan Monday , said that terror groups like Pakistan-based LeT cannot remain active in Afghanistan without systematic state support from beyond its borders.

Reiterating its commitment to stay the course in Afghanistan, India told the UN Security Council that the main source of instability in the war-torn nation is terrorism and not ethnic rivalries.

Expressing concern over the security situation inside Afghanistan, India has cited UN Secretary General Ban Ki moon’s latest report which said the number of security incidents in Afghanistan was the second highest in 2014 after 2011 when al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was neutralised.
