After Afghanistan proposed a special UN Security Council discussion about the deteriorating situation in the country, India, who held the presidency of the UNSC round this month, has begun to consult a special discussion in the coming days, said the source.
This happened on the day after the Taliban tried the second attack on the Salma Dam, which had been built by India in Herat.
“The Taliban attack on the Salma Dam failed! Terrorist Terrorists attacked the #Salma Dam in Herat Province to destroy it last night.
But, fortunately, they had suffered severe victims and escaped the area as a result of the counter-attacks andSF,” A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense Afghanistan tweeted.
The proposal was made by Afghanistan Affairs Minister Haneef Atmar during the conversation he held with S Jaishankar on Tuesday night.
A statement by the Afghan Foreign Office said, “Atmar discussed an unprecedented increase in the brutal attack of the Taliban against the Afghan people, which has resulted in the murder of a number of civilians and the displacement of thousands of others.” Atmar highlighted the “war crime” carried out by the Taliban in collusion with foreign fighters and terror groups, called them evil violations on international humanitarian law, he said.
Although there was no statement from the Government of India, Afghanistan’s statement quoted Jaishankar said that the UNC meeting would be “important” in a state of “for immediate termination of human rights violations and the formation of eternal peace and stability.” Meanwhile, “Troika Extended” – US, China, Russia and Pakistan – will meet in Doha on August 11 for talks about Afghan’s future.
Sponsored by Russia, he has firmly made India out of the group – Zamir Kabulov, a special Russian envoy, has maintained India not need to be invited because India has “no effect on the Taliban”.
