Weapons are supplied to the terrorists

Kamboj added that the increase in volume and quality of the arsenal acquired by these terrorist organisations reminds us time and again that they cannot exist without the sponsorship or support of terrorist countries. Some countries are giving safe haven to terrorists. These people have not only committed serious crimes, but continue to supply fake and counterfeit currency, arms, narcotics, etc. to support terrorist activities across the border and harm the economy of opponent countries. She urged the Council to have ‘Zero Tolerance’ towards terrorist elements and their supporters.
