Pak’s fanatical mindset is well known: India on Pak’s reference to J&K at UN
In a stern rebuke, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, criticized Pakistan’s reference to Jammu and Kashmir at the United Nations General Assembly, calling it “unjustified”. The Indian diplomat also took a swipe at Pakistan’s “fanatical mindset”, stating that such “frequent references” will not validate Pakistan’s claim or justify its “practice of cross-border terrorism”.
Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary, Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi, had made the reference to Jammu and Kashmir during a speech at the UN General Assembly, sparking strong reactions from India. The Indian government has long maintained that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and that Pakistan has no locus standi on the matter.
Qureshi’s remarks were seen as a thinly veiled attempt to internationalize the Kashmir issue, which India has consistently rejected. India has maintained that the issue is a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan and that any discussion on the issue should be held with Pakistan in a peaceful and constructive manner.
Harish’s comments were made in response to Qureshi’s remarks, which he described as “unjustified” and “illegitimate”. The Indian diplomat said that Pakistan’s actions on the ground, including its support for cross-border terrorism and proxy wars, are not matched by its words at the UN.
“Pakistan’s frequent references to Jammu and Kashmir at the UN are a reflection of its frustration and failure to accept the reality of the situation,” Harish said. “Pakistan’s actions on the ground, including its support for cross-border terrorism and proxy wars, are not matched by its words at the UN.”
Harish’s comments were seen as a strong rebuke to Pakistan’s attempts to internationalize the Kashmir issue. The Indian government has long maintained that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and that Pakistan has no locus standi on the matter.
Pakistan’s actions on the ground have also been a major source of concern for India. The country has long been accused of supporting cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, which has led to numerous attacks on Indian security forces and civilians.
In recent years, Pakistan has also been accused of funding and arming militant groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir, which has led to a significant increase in violence in the region. These groups have been responsible for numerous attacks on Indian security forces and civilians, leading to significant human rights abuses and displacement.
India has also accused Pakistan of using its diplomatic channels to spread false and misleading information about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan has been accused of using its diplomatic channels to spread false and misleading information about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, including claims that India is committing human rights abuses and that the situation in the region is “grim”.
However, these claims have been consistently rejected by independent observers and human rights groups, who have reported that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is complex and nuanced, with both sides committing human rights abuses.
In conclusion, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, has criticized Pakistan’s reference to Jammu and Kashmir at the UN General Assembly, calling it “unjustified”. Harish also took a swipe at Pakistan’s “fanatical mindset”, stating that such “frequent references” will not validate Pakistan’s claim or justify its “practice of cross-border terrorism”.
Pakistan’s actions on the ground, including its support for cross-border terrorism and proxy wars, are not matched by its words at the UN. India has long maintained that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and that Pakistan has no locus standi on the matter.
