India has told the UN Security Council that even after the concerted efforts of the international community over a decade in Afghanistan, the war-torn nation continues to face an existential threat from ‘syndicate of terrorism’ from across the border.
‘We are yet to isolate and root out the syndicate of terrorism, which includes elements of Al Qaeda, Taliban, LeT and other terrorist and extremist groups that operate with impunity from safe havens across Afghanistan's borders,’ said Manjeev Puri, the Acting Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations.
Cautioning the United States and its allies against arriving at a conclusion in Afghanistan, India told the UNSC that as these countries prepare to withdraw from this war-torn nation, there is no similar drawdown on the part of terrorist outfits from across the border.
‘Indeed, as NATO draws down from Afghanistan claiming 'Mission nearly Accomplished', judging by the latest acts of terrorism and violence, there is no sign a similar 'drawdown' on the part of terrorist outfits across the border,’ Puri told the powerful 15-membered body during its special debate on the situation in Afghanistan on Tuesday.
Puri said the developments in Afghanistan has and will continue to affect security in the region.
