Kashmiris still waiting for fulfilment of UN commitments: Pakistan<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In a scathing attack on Pakistan, India has said that if there is an \u201cunfinished agenda\u201d at the UN, it is that of tackling the scourge of terrorism and the country, a globally-recognised epicenter of the menace, which harbours and trains terrorists and hails them as martyrs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Exercising India\u2019s right to reply on Monday, First Secretary in the country\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permanent Mission to the UN Vidisha Maitra said: \u201cPakistan is a country which is globally recognised as the epicenter of terrorism, which by its own admission harbours and trains terrorists, and hails them as martyrs and consistently persecutes its ethnic and religious minorities\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

She was referring to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan\u2019s remarks in the country\u2019s Parliament where he had termed former al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden as a \u201cmartyr\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe reject the malicious reference made to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral part of India. If there is an item that is unfinished on the agenda of the UN, it is that of tackling the scourge of terrorism,\u201d Maitra said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

As the UN member states marked 75 years of the United Nations in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pakistan\u2019s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Monday raked up the issue of Jammu and Kashmir during his address to the high-level meeting on the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the world organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Qureshi said Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine were the UN\u2019s \u201cmost glaring and long-standing disputes\u201d and the people of Jammu and Kashmir still await the fulfillment of the commitment made to them by the UN to grant them their \u201cright to self-determination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

With Pakistan yet again raising the Kashmir issue at a UN platform, Maitra said India had hoped that during this solemn commemoration of a shared global milestone, the General Assembly would be \u201cspared another repetition of the baseless falsehoods that have now become a trademark of Pakistan\u2019s interventions on such platforms\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, for a nation that is bereft of milestones, one can only expect a stonewalled and stymied approach to reason, diplomacy and dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we heard today is the never-ending fabricated narrative presented by the Pakistani representative about the internal affairs of India,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strongly rejecting the reference made to Jammu and Kashmir, Maitra said Pakistan \u201cwill do well to turn its attention inwards to immediately addressing these pressing concerns instead of diverting attention from them by misusing the UN platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
