UNITED NATIONS, Nov 21:
India has dismissed an “unwarranted and habitual” reference to Kashmir made by Pakistan during a Security Council meeting here.
India’s retort came at the UN Security Council open debate on ‘Maintenance of International Peace and Security: Promoting Sustaining Peace through Common Development’.
The debate was held under China’s Presidency after Pakistan’s UN envoy Munir Akram made a reference to Kashmir in his remarks at the debate.
“I will take not more than a few seconds to dismiss the unwarranted and habitual remarks made by a Permanent Representative earlier against my country and I will not dignify them with a response here,” Counsellor in India’s Permanent Mission to the UN R. Madhu Sudan said.
Pakistan consistently rakes up the issue of Jammu and Kashmir at various UN platforms, irrespective of the agenda and topic of discussion at the meetings and fails to garner any traction. (PTI)
