India seeks global push to stop LeT, JeM from exploiting Afghan territory

UNITED NATIONS, Sep 18: India has called on the international community to ensure that UN-designated terror entities, including Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, and their facilitators do not exploit Afghan territory for terrorist activities.
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador, Parvathaneni Harish, stated that India and Afghanistan share a civilisational relationship and have a “paramount interest” in ensuring peace and stability in the war-torn country.
Harish stressed the importance of international and regional consensus and cooperation on key issues concerning Afghanistan and actively engaged with all relevant parties to promote peace, stability, and development.
He also welcomed the strong condemnation by the Afghan side of the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack.
India has been among the first countries to provide humanitarian assistance following the earthquake, delivering 1,000 family tents and 15 tonnes of food supplies to the affected provinces.
India’s commitment to meeting the developmental needs of the Afghan people is “non-negotiable,” and India will continue to engage with all relevant stakeholders and support the international community’s efforts towards a stable, peaceful, and prosperous Afghanistan. (PTI)
