Pakistan 'spews venom', takes to hate speech like fish takes to water: India at UN

India has slammed Pakistan for "spewing vem and false narratives" of monumental proportions in United Nations, saying it takes to hate speech like fish takes to water and "obfuscates" international community from truth as Islamab yet again raked up Kashmir issue at world body.

Pakistan consistently rakes up Kashmir issue at various UN platforms in a bid to internationalise it but has repeatedly failed to get any support.

Last week, Islamab failed in its efforts to get any traction from membership of UN Security Council when its 'all-wear ally' China me ar pitch to raise issue in 15-nation Council. re was consensus among rest of Council members that Kashmir is a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan.

India's Deputy Permanent Representative to UN Ambassor K Nagaraj Naidu, speaking at a session of General Assembly on 'Report of Secretary-General on Work of Organization' on Wednesday, said Pakistan "indulges in confabulations and obfuscates international community from truth" inste of putting an end to "bellicose and vitriolic diatribe" and taking steps to restore rmal ties.

"Just like a fish takes to water, one delegation has again taken to hate speech. Every time this delegation speaks, it spews vem and false narratives of monumental proportions.

"It's extremely surprising that a country that has completely decimated its mirity population talks about protecting mirities. Pakistan's practice of using false pretenses to distract from dressing malaise that afflicts it has run its course. Pakistan needs to reflect that re are takers for its false rhetoric and should get down to rmal business of diplomacy," Naidu said.

Indian diplomat's strong response came after Sa Ahmed Warraich, Counsellor at Pakistan mission to UN, raised issue of Jammu and Kashmir in his remarks during session, saying or situation reflects "abdication" of UN's responsibility to discharge its responsibilities more than deces-old Jammu and Kashmir issue.

China's latest attempt to raise Kashmir issue at UN Security Council on Pakistan's behalf failed last week, with an overwhelming majority of body expressing view that it was t right forum to discuss bilateral issue between India and Pakistan.

It was China's third such attempt to raise Kashmir issue at UNSC since August last when special status granted to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of Constitution was scrapped by government, and state was bifurcated into two union territories.

"We once again saw an effort me by one member state of UN, fail in plain view of all ors. We are happy that neir alarmist scenario painted by representatives of Pakistan r any of baseless allegations me repeatedly by representatives of Pakistan in UN fora were found to be credible today," India's Permenent Representative to UN Ambassor Syed Akbaruddin said last week.

"We are gl that effort was viewed as a distraction and it was pointed by many friends that bilateral mechanisms are available to raise and dress issues that Pakistan may have in its ties with India," Akbaruddin said after January 15 Council meeting.
