Propaganda Won't Change Facts: Sudhanshu Trivedi's Strong Retort To Pakistan At UN

New York: BJP leer and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi roared against Pakistan in United Nation saying neighbouring country false propaganda regarding Jammu and Kashmir will t change facts. Trivedi reprimanded Pakistan for raking Kashmir issue at world body's ongoing discussion on peacekeeping missions.

In a strong retort, India used its right to reply and said, “Pakistan is once again trying to misle this UN institution from its nda but Jammu and Kashmir was, is and will always remain a part of India.”

India slammed Pakistan for peddling “falsehood” after it referred to Jammu and Kashmir during a debate on peacekeeping operations in UN.

Sudhanshu's remarks came during a debate on peacekeeping operations at Special Political and Decolonization (Fourth Committee) of UN General Assembly Friday.

Trivedi asserted that Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir “was, is and will remain an integral part of India". 

“ people of Jammu and Kashmir have recently exercised ir democratic and electoral rights and elected a new government. Pakistan must desist from such rhetoric and falsehood because it will t alter facts,” Trivedi said.  He ded that out of respect for august members of UN forum, India will refrain from responding to any furr attempts by Pakistan to “abuse” UN procedures.

Trivedi delivered India’s strong response after Pakistani delegate spoke about United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP), mandated to supervise ceasefire along Line of Control.

India maintains that UNMOGIP has outlived its utility and is irrelevant after Simla Agreement and consequent establishment of Line of Control.

Later in a post on X, Trivedi said that during discussions in United Nations on peacekeeping operations, representative from Pakistan, while speaking on subject of UN peacekeeping, “tried to digress subject and unnecessarily mentioned that Pakistan’s involvement with UN peacekeepers started when UN has put up peacekeepers in 1948" in territory Jammu and Kashmir.

Trivedi ded that "taking a sharp exception of this remark,” he exercised Right of Reply and “firmly stated on floor that Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir was, is and will remain an integral part of India.” “It has also recently gone through a proper democratic election. So august forum of United Nations cant be used in mentioning se s of n-substantive and misleing terms,” Trivedi said.

He ded that this could have been “possible because of firm foreign policies” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi -led government for a “strong and assertive India on international st.” Trivedi is part of a delegation of 12 Members of Parliament from India who are visiting UN for diverse engments at world body.
