New Delhi - Egypt Today
India on Wednesday slammed Pakistan for providing "sustenance" to the scourge of terrorism in Kashmir.
Responding to Pakistan's statement at the 35th session of at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), India accused Pakistan of using terror to destabilize Kashmir.
According to The Times of India, the statement blamed Islamabad for supporting protests in the Valley.
"Concrete evidences about cross-border encouragement and support for the protests in Kashmir has been handed over to Pakistan. Instead of working with a sense of purpose to address this issue, Pakistan resorts to short-sighted tactics to divert attention, as we have once again seen today," India told the UNHRC.
India also attacked Islamabad for once again trying to misuse the UNHRC platform to pursue its political objectives.
"Pakistan's unsolicited and unwarranted comments pertaining to the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral part of India, are factually incorrect and bear no relationship to reality," India said in a statement.
"The foremost challenge to stability in Kashmir is the scourge of terrorism, which receives sustenance from Pakistan. Contrary to Pakistan's claims, and in gross violation of UN Security Council resolution 1267, the designated terrorists entities and organisations continue to carry out their activities freely as reported in the Pakistan's media," the statement said.
