India on Wednesday exposed Pakistan’s doublespeak at the United Nations, stating that Islamabad had lost control of the “Frankenstein” monster of terrorism created by the state.
Puri’s remarks came as India exercised its right of reply in response to the Pakistan representative’s statement in the Sixth Committee of the UN General Assembly on the Agenda Item: Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism. “The victims in Pahalgam were not asked about their political orientation; they were asked about their religion. “Pakistan continues with its narrative building, misinformation, and disinformation. Puri also recalled a statement by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, who is the daughter of former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif While exposing the doublespeak.
It is therefore deeply ironic that Pakistan speaks of combating religious hatred while allowing the conditions that enable it to persist and thrive, especially by fomenting cross-border terrorism,” he said. Furthermore, a Nawaz Sharif interview given to Dawn newspaper in 2018 was also highlighted, where the former Pakistani prime minister explicitly confessed to his country’s culpability regarding the orchestration of the 26/11 terrorist attack on Mumbai.
“Pakistan has presented itself as a frontline state in combating terrorism and as a victim, while masking the fact that the Frankenstein (monster) the Pakistani state has created and lost control over has moved from wreaking havoc in neighbouring countries to doing the same in Pakistan,” said Puri. If bombed-out airfields and cratered runways look like victory to Pakistan, they are of course welcome to enjoy it,” Puri said. Puri also said that Islamabad “glosses over its state support for terrorism by announcing enhanced rewards for apprehending the UN-listed head of Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist and mastermind of several attacks against my country, Masood Azhar.
