India warns of Afghanistan becoming haven for JeM, LeT; calls for intl action #IndiaNEWS #News
United Nations: India has warned of Afghanistan becoming a haven for terrorist organisations that threaten the region and called for unified action against the Islamic State, Al-Qaeda, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba getting entrenched there.
Indias Permanent Representative T. S. Tirumurti told the UN Security Council on Thursday, We need to see concrete progress in ensuring that such proscribed terrorists, entities or their aliases do not get any support, tacit or direct, either from Afghan soil or from the terror sanctuaries based in the region.
The linkages between groups listed (as terrorist organisations) by the UNSC (Security Council) such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish-e-Mohammed, as well as provocative statements made by other terrorist groups operating out of Afghanistan pose a direct threat to the region, he said.
He noted that the Taliban, which now controls Afghanistan, is yet to dissociate itself with other terrorist groups such as the Al-Qaeda which continue to remain active.
Therefore, he added, unified action was needed to ensure that Afghanistan does not become a haven for other terrorist organisations, including the local Islamic State affiliate known by the acronym ISIS-K, Al-Qaeda, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Tirumurti heads the Councils panel overseeing the implementation of its sanctions relating to Afghanistan that is known as the 1988 Sanctions Committee after the resolution setting it up.
He said that the committees report issued in May indicates that the current authorities need to take much stronger action to fulfil their anti-terrorism commitments.
In particular, he added that there is a significant increase in the presence of ISIL-K in the country and their capacity to carry out attacks. ISIL-K, with its base reportedly in Afghanistan, continues to issue threats of terrorist attacks on other countries.
ISIS-K has claimed responsibility for the attack on gurdwara Karte Parwan in Kabul last week and has threatened to strike elsewhere.
Under-Secretary-General Martin Griffiths, who is the UNs Emergency Relief Coordinator, described the desperate situation of starvation and drought in Afghanistan which has been compounded by the earthquake this week.
Asking for more aid to that country while pledging to ensure that they are administered properly, he said, Without intervention, hunger and malnutrition will intensify with devastating consequences. Drought will persist, wreaking havoc on crop yields and availability of safe water.
Tirumurti said that India has sent Afghanistan 30,000 tonne of wheat, 13 ton of medicines, 500,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines and winter clothing.
India has signed an agreement with the World Food Programme (WFP) for the distribution of 50,000 tonne of wheat in Afghanistan.
