NEW DELHI: After Pakistan PM Imran khan Again raising the Kashmir issue at the UNGA, India criticized Pakistan saying that terrorism was its only supreme glory. Exercising its right of reply, the Indian mission also accused Khan of being a warmonger and of using the multilateral forum to spread lies, misinformation and malice.
“This August forum witnessed a new low on its 75th anniversary. The leader of Pakistan today called for the banning of those who incite hatred and violence. But as he progressed, we were left wondering, was he referring to himself? said Mijito Vinito, the first secretary of India’s permanent mission to the UN, Mijito Vinito, exercising India’s right of reply.
The only supreme glory, he said, that this country has to show the world for the last 70 years is terrorism. ethnic cleansing, majority fundamentalism and clandestine nuclear trade. “This room listened to the incessant spiel from someone who had nothing to show for himself, who had no accomplishments to speak of, and no reasonable suggestions to offer to the world. Instead, we saw lies, disinformation, war and malice spread throughout this Assembly, ”he added.
Afterwards, Pakistan also exercised its right of reply, in which it stated that Jammu & Kashmir was never part of India. Alluding to Pakistan’s “stellar record”, Vinito said that this is the country that has the “dubious distinction” of hosting the largest number of terrorists banned by the United Nations, a reference to masterminds of terror like Lashkar-e- Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz saeed and the director of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Masood Azhar.
“This is the same country that provides pensions to feared and listed terrorists with state funds. The leader we hear today is the same person who referred to the terrorist Osama Bin Laden as a ‘martyr’ in the Pakistani Parliament in July, ”Vinito said.
He added that it is Pakistan that brought genocide to South Asia 39 years ago when it killed its own people and it is also the country that is “shameless enough” not to offer a sincere apology for the horrors it perpetrated even after so many. years.
