Pak’s Fanatical Mindset is Well Known: India on Pak’s Reference to J&K at UN
The United Nations General Assembly has once again become a platform for countries to express their differences and tensions. The latest development comes from India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, who criticized Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary’s statement on Jammu and Kashmir. Harish described the statement as “unjustified” and accused Pakistan of having a “fanatical mindset.”
The controversy began when Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary, Tehmina Janjua, made a statement at the UN General Assembly, reiterating Pakistan’s long-standing claim that Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed territory. Janjua also accused India of human rights violations in the region. India, however, has consistently maintained that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country and has been a victim of cross-border terrorism sponsored by Pakistan.
In response to Janjua’s statement, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, strongly condemned Pakistan’s actions. Harish called Pakistan’s statement “unjustified” and accused the country of having a “fanatical mindset.” He also noted that Pakistan’s “frequent references” to Jammu and Kashmir will not validate its claim or justify its “practice of cross-border terrorism.”
India’s stance on Jammu and Kashmir is well-known. The country has been vocal about its opposition to any external interference in the region and has consistently maintained that the issue is a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan. India has also made it clear that any solution to the issue must be acceptable to the people of Jammu and Kashmir and must be based on the principles of democracy, human rights, and self-determination.
Pakistan’s statement at the UN General Assembly is not the first time the country has raised the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan has consistently used international platforms to raise the issue, often accusing India of human rights violations and denying the people of Jammu and Kashmir their right to self-determination. However, India has consistently maintained that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country and has been a victim of cross-border terrorism sponsored by Pakistan.
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, has been a vocal critic of Pakistan’s actions in the region. In the past, Harish has accused Pakistan of supporting cross-border terrorism and has called for an end to the country’s “practice of terrorism.” Harish has also called on Pakistan to work with India to resolve the issue of Jammu and Kashmir peacefully.
Pakistan’s statement at the UN General Assembly has also been criticized by other countries. The European Union, for example, has called on Pakistan to work with India to resolve the issue of Jammu and Kashmir peacefully. The EU has also urged Pakistan to take concrete steps to curb terrorism and to ensure that its territory is not used for cross-border terrorism.
In conclusion, the reference to Jammu and Kashmir at the UN General Assembly by Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary, Tehmina Janjua, has been met with criticism from India. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, has accused Pakistan of having a “fanatical mindset” and has called for an end to the country’s “practice of cross-border terrorism.” India has also made it clear that any solution to the issue must be acceptable to the people of Jammu and Kashmir and must be based on the principles of democracy, human rights, and self-determination.
