Summary Indian First Secretary stated that Pakistan is a victim of its terrorism-breeding
LAHORE (Web Desk) – Indian media has started spewing venom after Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif raised Kashmir issue in his address to the 70th General Assembly session of the United Nations (UN) in New York.
Indian media has reported that Nawaz lied to the world and distorted the reality of the matter. The media outlets also criticised that PM s entire speech revolved around Kashmir dispute. However, former Indian ambassador said that such a speech by Pakistani PM has been delivered for the first time in history and India must respond to it.
Permanent Mission of Indian to the UN exercised its right to reply and stated that Pakistan has portrayed a false picture of the reality in the region. The statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs of India stated that India has a reservation over China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) only because it uses Indian territory “occupied” by Pakistan for years.
Indian First Secretary stated that Pakistan is a victim of its terrorism-breeding. The statement alleges Pakistan of violating Simla Agreement 1972, Joint Declaration 2004 and even questions the understanding of Pakistan with India at Ufa.
Responding to questions at a press conference after addressing the UN General Assembly session, the Prime Minister said that he had planned on handing over the dossier to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi directly but that meeting did not take place. As such, a copy of the dossier would be forwarded to the UN chief.
When asked about his initiative about forging better ties with India, the Prime Minister said Pakistan has put forward concrete proposals for improving ties with India with the hope that it would elicit a positive response.
The Prime Minister said it was in the interest of both the sides that they withdraw troops from Siachin- the world s highest battle ground.
To another question about use of the Afghan territory for launching attacks against Pakistan, the Prime Minister said he hopes that the Afghan government would play its role and would not allow any terrorist use its soil for attacks against Pakistan.
