India tore into Pakistan after its UN envoy raised the Kashmir issue here, saying no amount of rhetoric and propaganda can change the fact that the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are and will always be an \u201dinalienable\u201d part of the country.<\/p>\n
Counsellor in India\u2019s Permanent Mission to the UN Pratik Mathur\u2019s remarks came after Pakistan\u2019s Permanent Representative at the UN Munir Akram spoke about Jammu and Kashmir in his statement at the UNGA meeting.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were, are and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India. No amount of misinformation, rhetoric or propaganda from any country can change that fact,\u201d Mathur said at the UN General Assembly plenary on \u2018Use of the veto\u2019on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Pakistan consistently rakes up the issue of Jammu and Kashmir at various UN platforms, irrespective of the agenda and topic of discussion at the meetings.<\/p>\n
New Delhi has repeatedly emphasised that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were, are and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India.<\/p>\n
On Monday, India slammed Pakistan after it raised the issue of Jammu and Kashmir at a Security Council meeting, prompting India\u2019s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj to assert that she would not waste the Council\u2019s time by responding to such \u201cmischievous\u201d remarks.<\/p>\n
\u201cLastly, this august forum has today heard some mischievous remarks by a permanent representative arising purely out of ignorance and lack of an understanding on the basic facts of decolonisation,\u201d Kamboj had said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will not be wasting the time of this Council in responding to those remarks. Our advice to that delegation is please refer to our numerous rights of reply that we have expressed in the past,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Kamboj\u2019s stern response came at the UN Security Council open debate on \u201cMaintenance of international peace and security: Effective multilateralism through the defence of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations\u201d chaired by Russia, President of the Council for the month of April.<\/p>\n
With Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov presiding over the debate, Akram had referred to Jammu and Kashmir in his statement.<\/p>\n
Tensions between India and Pakistan spiked after New Delhi abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s decision evoked strong reactions from Pakistan, which downgraded diplomatic ties and expelled the Indian envoy.<\/p>\n
India has categorically told the international community that the scrapping of Article 370 was its internal matter. It also advised Pakistan to accept the reality and stop all anti-India propaganda.<\/p>\n
India has told Pakistan that it desires normal neighbourly relations with Islamabad in an environment free of terror, hostility and violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
