“Entire Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were, are and will be part of India. This includes the areas which are under illegal occupation of Pakistan. We call upon Pakistan to immediately vacate areas under its illegal occupation.” This was the reply to the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan by India’s young diplomat Sneha Dubey during the UN General Assembly ( UNGA) session on Saturday. Strongly hitting back at Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's rant at the UN General Assembly, India accused the leader of Pakistan of misusing the UN podium to propagate false and malicious propaganda against India.

Before this, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, in his 30-minute address, devoted half of his time to India and Kashmir and the BJP government led by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In his speech, Khan persisted with his rant about “unilateral changes by the Modi government in Jammu and Kashmir since 5th August 2019”. During his pre-recorded speech, Khan repeated the same allegations about India of last year, focused on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Kashmir and how the Modi government was allegedly persecuting minorities.
Interestingly Khan was supposed to come to New York to address the UNGA in person but he cancelled the visit after failing to get an appointment with the US president Joe Biden.
Playing the victim card yet again, Khan lamented.
“What about us? The only reason we suffered so much was because we became an ally of the US – of the Coalition – in the war in Afghanistan. There were attacks being conducted from the Afghan soil into Pakistan. At least there should have been a word of appreciation. But rather than appreciation, imagine how we feel when we are blamed for the turn of events in Afghanistan.”
Khan said that he wants peace with India but without a solution to the Jammu and Kashmir problem, peace cannot be established in South Asia. Imran Khan said that the solution of the Jammu and Kashmir problem should be according to the resolutions of the United Nations.
Immediately after Khan’s speech, India exercised its right of reply to the rants by him and fielded its newest diplomat, first secretary Sneha Dubey against the former Pakistan cricket captain turned politician.
“We keep hearing that Pakistan is a victim of terrorism. This the county which is an arsonist disguising itself as a firefighter. Pakistan nurtures terrorists in its backyards in hope that they will only harm their neighbours”, said Dubey in her reply on behalf of India.
India reminded the world that whenever there is a discussion on terrorism the failed State of Pakistan plays the victim card so as to distract international community’s attention from the reality that Pakistan is unabashedly harbouring and supporting UN proscribed terrorists and terrorist organizations.
“Members are well aware that Pakistan has an established history and policies of harbouring, aiding and actively supporting terrorists. The world has not forgotten that the mastermind behind 9/11 Osama Bin Laden got sheltered in Pakistan. Pakistani leadership continues to glorify him as a martyr.”
India reiterated that “it is for Pakistan to work sincerely towards creating conducive atmosphere including by taking credible, verifiable and irreversible actions to not allow any territory under its control to be used from cross border terrorism against India in any manner.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in New York and will address the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Saturday.
