Pak’s Fanatical Mindset is Well Known: India on Pak’s Reference to J&K at UN
The United Nations General Assembly has once again become a platform for India and Pakistan to engage in a war of words. This time, it was over Pakistan’s reference to Jammu and Kashmir, with India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, not mincing his words in his criticism.
Speaking at the General Assembly, Harish lashed out at Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary, who had made a statement on the Kashmir issue, calling it “unjustified”. Harish’s strong words were a clear indication of India’s annoyance and frustration with Pakistan’s continued meddling in the Kashmir issue.
“The fanatical mindset of this nation (Pakistan) is well known,” Harish said, his words dripping with disdain. “Their frequent references will not validate their claim or justify their practice of cross-border terrorism.”
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN was responding to Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary’s statement, which had accused India of human rights violations in Kashmir. Harish was quick to point out that Pakistan’s claims were baseless and without any evidence.
“Pakistan’s allegations are not based on facts, but on their own prejudice and propaganda,” Harish said. “Their claims are designed to deflect attention from their own human rights abuses and to justify their sponsorship of terrorism.”
Harish’s remarks were seen as a clear rebuke to Pakistan’s attempts to internationalize the Kashmir issue. India has consistently maintained that Kashmir is a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan, and that any resolution must be found through peaceful dialogue and negotiations.
Pakistan, on the other hand, has been pushing for a UN-led investigation into the situation in Kashmir, alleging that India is committing human rights abuses against the people of the region. India has rejected these claims, saying that Pakistan is trying to create an international controversy out of a domestic issue.
The Kashmir issue has been a thorn in the side of India-Pakistan relations for decades. The two countries have fought several wars over the region, and the situation remains tense to this day.
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN was not the only one to criticize Pakistan’s statement. Other countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, also expressed their concerns over Pakistan’s attempts to internationalize the Kashmir issue.
The United States, in particular, was critical of Pakistan’s statement, saying that it was not helpful in reducing tensions in the region. The US has been pushing for a peaceful resolution to the Kashmir issue, and has called on both India and Pakistan to engage in direct talks.
The international community is keenly aware of the potential for conflict between India and Pakistan, given their history of hostilities. The situation in Kashmir has the potential to escalate into a full-blown conflict, which could have far-reaching consequences for the region and the world.
In light of this, it is essential that both India and Pakistan engage in constructive dialogue and work towards finding a peaceful resolution to the Kashmir issue. The international community must also play a role in promoting peace and stability in the region.
As the situation in Kashmir continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the fanatical mindset of Pakistan is well known, and it is up to the international community to call out such behavior and promote a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
