United Nations :<\/strong> India has hit out at Pakistan after the country\u2019s caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar predictably raised the Kashmir bogey in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n

In its right to reply, the First Secretary at United Nations for the Second Committee of UNGA, Petal Gahlot said that Pakistan should vacate occupied areas of India and stop cross-border terrorism. She asked Pakistan to stop human rights violations against minorities in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Petal Gahlot said, \u201cIn order for there to be peace in South Asia, the actions that Pakistan needs to take are threefold first stop cross-border terrorism and shut down its infrastructure of terrorism immediately. Second, vacate Indian territories under its illegal and forcible occupation. And third stop the grave and persistent human rights violations against the minorities in Pakistan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indian diplomat reiterated that union territories of Jammu and Kashmir as well as Ladakh are integral parts of India and Pakistan has no \u201clocus standi\u201d to make statements regarding India\u2019s domestic matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe reiterate that the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral part of India. Matters pertaining to the UTs of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are purely internal to India,\u201d Petal Gahlot said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPakistan has no locus standi to comment on our domestic matters. As a country with one of the world\u2019s worst human rights records, particularly when it comes to minority and women\u2019s rights, pakistan would do well to put its own house in order before venturing to point a finger at the world\u2019s largest democracy,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Indian diplomat slammed Pakistan for making \u201cbaseless and malicious propaganda\u201d against India at the United Nations General Assembly. In her remarks, Gahlot said, \u201cPakistan has become a habitual offender when it comes to misusing this august forum to peddle baseless and malicious propaganda against India. Member States of the United Nations and other multilateral organizations are well aware that Pakistan does so to deflect the international community\u2019s attention away from its own abysmal record on human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calling Pakistan home to the largest number of internationally proscribed terrorist entities, Gahlot urged Pakistan to take \u201ccredible and verifiable action\u201d against perpetrators of the 2011 Mumbai terror attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cPakistan has been the home and patron to the largest number of internationally proscribedterrorist entities and individuals in the world. Instead of engaging in technical sophistry, we callupon Pakistan to take credible and verifiable action against the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks whose victims await justice even after 15 years,\u201d Petal Gahlot said.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the systemic violence against minorities in Pakistan, Petal Gahlot spoke about the conditions of Christians and Ahmadiyya communities. She spoke about the Jaranwala incident where Churches and Christian houses were burnt down.<\/p>\n

\u201cA glaring example of the systemic violence against minorities in Pakistan was the large-scale brutality perpetrated against the minority Christian community in Jaranwala in Pakistan\u2019s Faisalabad district in August 2023 where a total of 19 churches were gutted and 89 Christian houses were burnt down,\u201d the Indian diplomat said.<\/p>\n

She further said, \u201cSimilar treatment has been meted out to the Ahmadiyya whose places of worship have been demolished. The condition of women belonging to minority communities in Pakistan notably Hindus, Sikhs and Christians, remains deplorable.\u201d<\/p>\n

She made reference to a report published by Pakistan\u2019s Human Rights Commission which revealed that 1000 women from minority communities were subjected to abduction and forced conversion and marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to a recent report published by Pakistan\u2019s own Human Rights Commission, an estimated 1,000 women from minority communities are subjected to abduction and forced conversion and marriage in Pakistan every year,\u201d Petal Gahlot said.<\/p>\n

Pakistan caretaker PM Kakar\u2019s remarks came during his address to the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York today. He said, \u201cPakistan desires peaceful and productive relations with all our neighbours including India,\u201d and added that \u201cKashmir is the key to peace between Pakistan and India.\u201d<\/p>\n

India has repeatedly raised its concern over Pakistan\u2019s support of cross-border terrorism and has asserted that terror and talks cannot go together. India has also provided evidence at various international forums of Pakistan\u2019s support for Terrorist groups. Pakistan\u2019s caretaker PM however harped on what he called the illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
