India on Monday (August 16) said that Afghan men, women, and children are living under a constant state of fear and if there is zero-tolerance for terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and it`s ensured that Afghan territory isn`t used by terrorist groups to threaten or attack any other country, then Afghanistan`s neighbours and region would feel safer.

India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations TS Tirumurti made the statement while addressing an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council being held under India`s current presidency on Afghanistan following the Taliban's spree of violence.
