‘India behind terrorist attacks inside Pakistan’

India is churning out operatives of mayhem from its factories of terror Tipu Usman, a member of Pakistan’s UN mission

new york — A Pakistani diplomat told the UN General Assembly on Monday that India was sponsoring terrorism, funding and arming terrorist organisations to launch terrorist attacks inside Pakistan in an attempt to become a regional hegemon.

“India is churning out operatives of mayhem from its factories of terror,” Tipu Usman, a counsellor in the Pakistan mission to the UN, said in response to India’s right of reply to Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi’s tough statement on Saturday that focused on the grave situation in Indian-administered Kashmir and rejected New Delhi’s claim that the disputed state was its “integral part”.

In his remarks, Usman said Pakistan caught red-handed Indian operator Commander (Kulbhushan) Jadhav, who was spreading terror and violence across Pakistan, and will bring him to justice. Pakistan also hoped to catch other Indian operators.

But again on Monday the Indian delegate, Paulomi Tripathi, glossed over Kashmir, the core dispute between India and Pakistan, and instead spoke of photo displayed in the assembly by Ambassador Lodhi.

“No matter how many times you repeat a lie, it does not and cannot hide the truth,” the Pakistani delegate said.

“The Indian representative has once again chosen to divert the attention of the international community from the real issue — the real issue of human life, of human eyes, of children and infants blinded forever, of women raped and elderly killed every day by the reign of brutality unleashed by the occupation forces in Indian-controlled Jammu and Kashmir. The real issue is of Security Council resolutions, which India refuses to implement.”

“Raking up debate on pictures has backfired,” Usman said. “Your own people do not buy your argument,” he told his Indian counterpart.

The Pakistani delegate said that Kashmiris will never be defeated. —
