Pak’s Fanatical Mindset is Well Known: India on Pak’s Reference to J&K at UN
The ongoing diplomatic row between India and Pakistan continues to escalate, with the latest development being a scathing rebuke by India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, against Pakistan’s repeated references to Jammu and Kashmir at the General Assembly. In a strongly worded statement, Harish called out Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary, for making “unjustified” remarks on the issue, and slammed the country’s “fanatical mindset” for its persistent attempts to internationalize the dispute.
The tension between the two nations has been simmering for years, with Pakistan’s continued support for cross-border terrorism and its refusal to acknowledge India’s sovereignty over Jammu and Kashmir being major sticking points. The latest salvo was fired by Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary, who took to the UN General Assembly floor to reiterate his country’s stance on the issue. However, his remarks were met with swift and stern rebuke from Harish, who accused Pakistan of attempting to “validate its false narrative” and “justify its nefarious activities” through such “frequent references” to Jammu and Kashmir.
Harish’s statement came as a response to Pakistan’s repeated attempts to internationalize the issue, which India has consistently rejected. The Indian diplomat noted that Pakistan’s “obsession” with Jammu and Kashmir was “well known”, and that its “persistent attempts” to draw international attention to the issue would not change the facts on the ground. He emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of India, and that any attempts to question its status were “unjustified” and “illegitimate”.
Furthermore, Harish took a swipe at Pakistan’s record on human rights, stating that the country’s “abysmal” human rights record was a stark contrast to its “hollow” claims of standing up for the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He also highlighted Pakistan’s continued support for cross-border terrorism, saying that such “practice of cross-border terrorism” would not be tolerated by India.
India has long accused Pakistan of sponsoring and supporting terrorist groups, including Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, which have carried out numerous attacks on Indian soil. The country has repeatedly called on Pakistan to take concrete steps to dismantle these terrorist networks and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Harish’s statement has been seen as a strong rebuke to Pakistan’s attempts to internationalize the issue, and a reaffirmation of India’s commitment to defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Indian diplomat’s comments have also been seen as a shot across the bow for Pakistan, warning the country against any further attempts to question India’s authority over Jammu and Kashmir.
In conclusion, the latest development in the ongoing diplomatic row between India and Pakistan serves as a stark reminder of the deep-seated differences between the two nations. Pakistan’s persistent attempts to internationalize the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, while India has consistently rejected these attempts and reaffirmed its commitment to defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Pakistan will respond to India’s latest rebuke. However, one thing is clear – India will not be swayed by Pakistan’s attempts to question its authority over Jammu and Kashmir, and will continue to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs.
