Call out doublespeak of sanctuary-providers: EAM

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

NEW DELHI, AUGUST 19

India called on the world community never to compromise with the evil of terrorism with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar telling the UNSC on Thursday that there should be no lack of courage in calling out the “doublespeak” of those providing sanctuaries to terrorists.

The events unfolding in Afghanistan enhance concerns about regional and international security and the heightened activity of Haqqani network “justifies this anxiety,” said Jaishankar. The Haqqani group had links with Al-Qaida and had run terrorist training camps, including those for Kashmir groups, but is now well represented in the higher Taliban command and its fighters control most of the security in Kabul.
