UNITED NATIONS: In a sharp retort, India ripped through Pakistan’s “divisive agenda” at the UN Security Council, calling out Islamabad’s “unique” way of respecting the will of its people by jailing a prime minister and giving lifetime immunity to its army chief.
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, delivered a strong response in the Security Council on Monday after Pakistan’s Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad raised the issues of Jammu and Kashmir and the Indus Waters Treaty during an open debate on ‘Leadership for Peace’.
“Pakistan’s unwarranted reference to Jammu and Kashmir in today’s open debate attests to its obsessive focus on harming India and its people. A serving non-permanent Security Council Member that chooses to further this obsession in all meetings and platforms of the UN in pursuit of its divisive agenda cannot be expected to fulfil its designated responsibilities and obligations.
