New Delhi: India on Friday exercised its \u2018Right of Reply\u2019 against remarks made by Pakistan\u2019s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on minorities in India and the issue of Kashmir at the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) debate.<\/p>\n
Indian diplomat Mijito Vinito reminded Pakistan to introspect before levelling false allegations against India. Vinto emphasised that instead of making claims over Jammu and Kashmir, Islamabad should stop \u201ccross-border terrorism\u201d. Vinito also said \u201cWhen young women in the thousands from the minority community are abducted as an SOP, what can we conclude about the underlying mindset?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is regrettable that the Prime Minister of Pakistan has chosen the platform of this august assembly to make false accusations against India. He has done so to obfuscate misdeeds in his own country and to justify actions against India that the world considers unacceptable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cA polity that claims it seeks peace with its neighbours would never sponsor cross border terrorism. Nor would it shelter planners of the horrific Mumbai terrorist attack, disclosing their existence only under pressure from the international community,\u201d Vinito said.<\/p>\n
Reminding the world body of the atrocities against minorities, the Indian diplomat referred to recent incidents of forced abduction and marriage of girls from Hindu, Sikh and Christian families in Pakistan and \u201cconversions within Pakistan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch a country would not make unjustified and untenable territorial claims against neighbours. It would not covet their lands and seek to illegally integrate them with its own. But it is not just about the neighbourhood that we have heard false claims today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe desire for peace, security and progress in the Indian subcontinent is real. It is also widely shared. And it can be realized. That will surely happen when cross-border terrorism ceases, when governments come clean with the international community and their own people, when minorities are not persecuted and, not least, when we recognize these realities before this Assembly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
