Pak’s Fanatical Mindset is Well Known: India on Pak’s Reference to J&K at UN
In a scathing rebuke, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, criticized Pakistan’s statement on Jammu and Kashmir at the General Assembly, terming it “unjustified”. The remark was made in response to the frequent references made by Pakistan to the disputed region, which India claims is an integral part of its territory.
Pakistan’s latest attempt to internationalize the issue at the UN General Assembly was met with stiff resistance from India, which has maintained that the Kashmir issue is a bilateral matter between the two countries and needs to be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy. India has repeatedly rejected Pakistan’s attempts to raise the issue at the international forum, citing the fact that the matter is already being addressed through the Simla Agreement and the Lahore Declaration, which enjoin the two countries to resolve all disputes through peaceful means.
However, Pakistan’s continued attempts to internationalize the issue have led to a deepening of the diplomatic rift between the two countries. The latest statement by Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary, which was echoed by the country’s Permanent Representative to the UN, has only added fuel to the fire. The statement claimed that Pakistan has been facing “brutal” and “genocidal” violence in Jammu and Kashmir, and that the international community has a responsibility to intervene to protect the people of the region.
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, was quick to respond to the statement, calling it “unjustified” and “condemnable”. “The fanatical mindset of this nation (Pakistan) is well known,” he said, adding that such “frequent references” will not validate Pakistan’s claim or justify its “practice of cross-border terrorism”.
Harish also noted that Pakistan’s attempts to internationalize the issue are a clear attempt to divert attention from its own failures and human rights abuses. “Pakistan’s own track record on human rights is dismal,” he said, pointing out that the country has been accused of gross human rights violations, including the use of torture, arbitrary detention, and enforced disappearance.
The Indian diplomat also highlighted the fact that Pakistan has been using the issue of Jammu and Kashmir to justify its own actions, including the sponsorship of terrorism and cross-border violence. “Pakistan’s claim that it is fighting for the people of Jammu and Kashmir is a thinly veiled attempt to justify its own practice of cross-border terrorism,” he said.
India has long maintained that Pakistan’s attempts to internationalize the issue of Jammu and Kashmir are a clear attempt to undermine its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The country has repeatedly pointed out that the issue is a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan, and that any attempt to internationalize it would be counterproductive and destabilizing.
The latest statement by Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary has only added to the tensions between the two countries. The statement has been widely condemned by India and other countries, which have termed it as a clear attempt to spread hatred and intolerance.
In conclusion, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, has rightly criticized Pakistan’s statement on Jammu and Kashmir at the General Assembly, terming it “unjustified” and “condemnable”. The fanatical mindset of Pakistan is well known, and its attempts to internationalize the issue are a clear attempt to justify its own practice of cross-border terrorism and undermine India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. India will continue to reject Pakistan’s attempts to raise the issue at the international forum and will instead focus on resolving the issue through dialogue and diplomacy.
