Pak-sponsored terror for decades, says India at UN

India called out Pakistan's "grossly hypocritical" behaviour at the UN Security Council, saying a nation that makes no distinction between terrorists and civilians has no credentials to speak about protecting civilians as Delhi highlighted that the Pakistani Army deliberately shelled Indian border villages earlier this month killing civilians and intentionally targeted places of worship.

UNITED NATIONS:

"I am constrained to respond to the baseless allegations of the representative of Pakistan on a number of issues," India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said Friday. Harish was addressing the UNSC open debate on "Addressing emerging threats, ensuring safety of civilians, humanitarian and UN Personnel, journalists and media professionals and enhancing accountability mechanisms" under the agenda item "Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict".

Earlier, Pakistan's Ambassador at the UN Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, in his remarks at the debate, raked the Kashmir issue and spoke about the recent conflict between India and Pakistan.
