India strongly criticised Pakistan at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Saturday, accusing Islamabad of misusing UN platforms to advance its political agenda and reiterating that Jammu and Kashmir remains an integral part of India.
Addressing the UNGA plenary session on the Annual Report of the UN Security Council, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, responded to remarks made by Pakistan’s envoy regarding Jammu and Kashmir.
“The unwarranted reference by Pakistan to a matter strictly internal to India, the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, has compelled me to respond,” Harish said.
The Indian diplomat accused Pakistan of repeatedly using international forums to promote what he described as misleading narratives. He also alleged that Pakistan had misused its position as a member of the UN Security Council by circulating inaccurate communications on issues concerning India.
