New Delhi: Congress leader and former Union Minister P Chidambaram today said it is too premature to congratulate ourselves over the UN Security Council adopting a resolution on Afghanistan.
He also cautioned that the possible axis of China, Pakistan and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan is a cause for worry.
He said this after the UN Security Council, under India’s Presidency, adopted a strong resolution demanding that the territory of Afghanistan not be used to threaten any country or shelter terrorists and that it expects the Taliban will adhere to commitments made by it on regarding the safe and orderly departure from the country of Afghans and all foreign nationals.
Chidambaram said the government is congratulating itself for the UNSC resolution adopted on Afghanistan.
Taking to Twitter, he posted, “Resolution’ has two meanings. The first is that the issue has been ”resolved” or settled to India’s satisfaction. That is not what happened at the UNSC. The second meaning is that we have put our wishes on paper and got some others to sign that paper! That is what happened at UNSC yesterday.”
It is too premature to congratulate ourselves, he said and added that the possible axis of China, Pakistan and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan is a cause for worry.
