NEW YORK : Pakistan has been fighting a war against terrorism that is sponsored by India.This was stated by Pakistan diplomat Mohammad Rashid in response to the Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar’s tirade at the UN General Assembly.
In his right of reply at the General Assembly, Rashid said that the Indian minister once again made a failed attempt to malign Pakistan by accusing it of involvement in terrorism. He pointed out that the world acknowledges Pakistan’s sacrifices in the fight against terrorism, with over 90,000 lives lost.He stated that “India is a sponsor of terrorists, fuelling hatred, division, and prejudice in the region. India is operating a cross-border terrorist network, using proxy elements to carry out terrorist activities within Pakistan.”
Pakistan, he emphasized, is a peace-loving nation and is actively fighting terrorism.Rejecting allegations, Rashid held India responsible for promoting terrorism, human rights violations, and state oppression in the region. He also exposed India’s role with concrete evidence — from the situation in Kashmir to the arrest of Kulbhushan Jadhav.
“Today we heard the same old speeches from a member state — predictable, full of lies and misleading claims, entirely devoid of facts. The false accusations made by our neighbour about terrorism are nothing more than an attempt to repeat lies in the hope that they might be accepted as truth. The reality is exactly the opposite,” Pakistani diplomat added.
