India russia warns terror groups in Afghanistan.

By SANJANA TIWARI


The government highlighted Pakistan ISI’s links with India-focused terror groups in Afghanistan, including Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, and stressed Islamabad’s ties with Taliban and other international terror groups during a high-level inter-government meeting with Russia on the Afghan situation.  the meeting saw substantive exchanges, with both sides expressing similar views on most issues including terrorism and the need for Taliban to fulfil its commitments Official sources said. National security adviser mr. Ajit Doval is learned to have told his counterpart Nikolay Patrushev that Pakistan has the “special responsibility” of ensuring that Afghanistan was not used to spread terrorism and carry out anti-India activities. India has repeatedly said in the past few weeks that its primary objective for now is to ensure that Pakistan-based terror groups didn't use Afghan territory to make attacks against others.


The two sides (india and Russia) agreed the Taliban must be held to their promises, which included respect for basic human rights, including for women, and not to allow their territory to be used by militants groups.


The Official Said "There was convergence of views on the presence of international terrorist groups in Afghanistan and threat from terrorism to Central Asia and India."


India afraids that militant groups that operate from Pakistan may also use Afghanistan territory to orchestrate attacks and says Pakistan should be held responsible because of its close links to the Taliban.


Russia afraids turmoil in Afghanistan could spill over into Central Asia, which it regards as its southern defensive flank and as a sphere of influence from which radical Islamist threats could emanate.


 India and Russia have long been close military partners but in recent years New Delhi has turned to the United States for weapons supplies and forgotten closed political ties.


 the regional situation had changed dramatically following the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan and the capture of power by the Taliban said by the Indian officials.
