India's befitting reply to Pakistan
India sent out a strong mess to Pakistan after its PM Khan's 50-minute anti-India rant at UNGA on Friday. First Secretary MEA Vidisha Maitra reiterated India's position on Jammu and Kashmir, asserting that its citizens do t need anyone else to speak on ir behalf - "least of all those who have built an industry of terrorism from ideology of hate", she added. India asserted that Imran Khan's address appeared like a 'hate speech' at UNGA, adding that words matter in diplomacy.
"Words matter in diplomacy. Invocation of phrases such as "pogrom", "bloodbath", "racial superiority", "pick up gun" and "fight to end" reflect a medieval mindset and t a 21st-century vision," she said.
India said world will hold Imran Khan to promise, after he invited UN observers to inspect presence of terrorist organisations on Pakistan's soil. First Secretary MEA furr posed a set of questions to Imran Khan asking if Pakistan Prime Minister would deny to city of New York that he was an open defender of Osama bin Laden?
