‘Nefarious…’: Jaishankar blasts Pak at UNSC meet for unleashing drone terror

In an address at a special meeting of the UN Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC), External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said terrorist groups have significantly enhanced capabilities by gaining access to new technologies. In an apparent reference to Pakistan, Jaishankar also said the counter-terror sanction regime of the United Nations has been effective to put countries on notice that turned terrorism into a 'state-funded enterprise'. Jaishankar noted that 'misuse' of unmanned aerial platforms for nefarious purposes by terrorist groups such as delivery of weapons and explosives and to carry out targeted attacks have become an 'imminent danger'.
