United Nations, Sept 22: India took a firm stand against Pakistan’s support for terror at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) early Friday and went on to call it
“terroristan”.
“In its short history, Pakistan has become a geography synonymous with terror,” Eenam Gambhir, First Secretary in India’s Permanent Mission to the UN, said exercising India’s right of reply after Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Abbasi’s virulent attack saying “the struggle” of the people in Kashmir was being “brutally suppressed by India”.
Gambhir, who had stolen the show last year when she verbally pummelled former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, gave Abbasi a taste of the same medicine this year.
Pakistan’s “contribution to the globalisation of terror is unparalleled”, she declared.
She got the backing of an Afghan diplomat, who spoke after her, also exercising his right of reply to Abbasi’s allegations about terrorism coming to Islamabad from Kabul.
The Afghan diplomat asked where did Osama, Mullah Omar and his successor Mullah Akhtar Mansoor die, and answered they were locations in Pakistan.
“That was the country from which more than 20 international terrorist organisations came to Afghanistan and even Abbasi had admitted that those who carried out the May 31 bomb attack in Kabul that killed more than 150 people may have come from his country,” he added.
Earlier, Abbasi had met Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. Pakistani media reported that he handed over to Guterres a dossier of “Indian atrocities in Kashmir”. More P11
