“It is telling that a neighbour who was not named chose to nevertheless respond and admit their longstanding practice of cross-border terrorism,” Srinivas said.
“Pakistan’s reputation speaks for itself. Its fingerprints are so visible in terrorism across so many geographies. It is a menace not only to its neighbours but to the entire world,” he further blasted Islamabad for its continued use of terror for political motives.
Delivering India’s Right of Reply, Srinivas further stated, “No arguments or untruths can ever whitewash the crimes of Terroristan.”
‘A neighbour that is an epicentre of global terrorism’: Jaishankar at UNGA
During his UNGA address on Saturday, Jaishankar referred to “a neighbour that is an epicentre of global terrorism,” saying major international attacks could be traced back to that country. He underlined that India has faced terrorism since independence and urged the international community to choke terror financing and sanction those who glorify terrorists.
Exercising its Right of Reply, Pakistan accused India of making “malicious accusations” and attempting to “malign Pakistan.”
Reports said India walked out of the hall as Pakistan protested the use of the term Terroristan. Rashid, a secretary at Pakistan’s UN Mission, accused India of “distorting the very name of a country, a member of the United Nations.”
Observers noted that Pakistan’s repeated replies, despite not being named directly, amounted to an admission that the remarks were directed at it.
