'Afghanistan peace process destroyed by Pakistan': India encircles Imran Khan & co at UNSC

India made a scathing attack on Pakistan at the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday, accusing Islamabad of disrupting the peace process in Afghanistan by bringing about violent attacks through terror groups like Al-Qaida, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant - Khorasan Province (ISIL-K) in the neighboring country and terror groups are now relocating in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces.

"It is essential that we don't lose sight of the ease with which the proscribed Haqqani Network and its supporters, especially the Pakistani authorities, have worked along with prominent terrorist organizations like Al-Qaida, ISIL K, Tehrik-Taliban Pakistan, etc. in South Asia," said India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations TS Tirumurti while speaking at the Security Council Briefing on 'Threats to International Peace and Security Caused by Terrorist Acts'.

"The world is fully aware that these groups also perpetrate terrorist activities from safe havens in Pakistan, including through violent attacks in Afghanistan that have disrupted the peace process. We are also witnessing the relocation of terror groups to Afghanistan especially in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces, across the Durand Line," Tirumurti added.
