New York. India on Wednesday (local time) took Pakistan to a tough class on terrorism at the United Nations. There is also an appeal to the global community to take action against this country. Speaking on “international terrorist threats” at the Araria-source meeting of the United Nations Security Council, Indian diplomat Rajesh Parihar said, “It is high time the international community takes action against Pakistan.” Also look for effective, credible, verifiable and irrefutable evidence of terrorist organizations. Action should be taken against terrorist organizations operating from areas under the control of Pakistan without any delay.

Rajesh Parihar condemned terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HUM) in Pakistan, saying, “United Nations designated Lashkar, Lashkar, HUM, JeM terrorist group. It continues to operate across borders, targeting civilians, security forces, places of worship and critical infrastructure in India. The threat posed by these groups to India has also been highlighted recently in the 13th report of the Analytical Support and Prevention Monitoring Group to the Committee in 1988.

He also highlighted the deployment of new and emerging technologies by terrorist groups to achieve their nefarious goals. Parihar said, “Terrorism remains the greatest threat to humanity despite the efforts of the international community, including the UNSC-led efforts to combat and prevent it over the past two decades. The threat of terrorism is not only increasing. It is growing rapidly in new regions, especially in Asia and Africa. At the same time, new and emerging technologies are being expanded by terrorist groups to achieve their nefarious goals. .’
In recent days, terrorists have launched cross-border drone strikes targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. As a result of which Indian civilians lost their lives and many got injured. The Indian diplomat said, “India condemns these cross-border drone strikes in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. We also condemned the terrorist attack on a hotel by al-Shabaab two weeks ago that claimed more than 20 lives. Forty people were killed and more than 70 were injured in an attack by al-Shabaab militants at the Hyatt Hotel in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu.

Parihar appealed to the council to focus on the use of new technologies by terrorist groups, a new and emerging trend to tackle this menace. He also urged to ensure an effective and timely response to deal with this menace.
