India has said that terrorist groups are continuing to find “sustenance and support systems” in South Asia and in countries that use terrorism as an instrument of state policy.
The “training and political” support to terror funding must be systematically cut off, New Delhi has maintained.
“The horror of terrorism continues to haunt global peace and security,” External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said at a BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) meeting, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly here yesterday.
She further said: “Terror groups draw sustenance from support systems in South Asia. “They continue to find support and shelter in countries which use terrorism as an instrument of State Policy,” she said in obvious reference to Pakistan.
