India claims diplomatic victory over Pakistan in UN

About Pakistan submitting a dossier against India to the UN, Swarup said there was no mention of such thing in the read-out given by the Secretary General’s Office. “They exchanged views on bilateral relations as well as global and regional issues of common interest”, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lu Kang said when asked about reports that Li extended support to Pakistan’s stance on Kashmir.

Hitting out at Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Surjewala said: “In his jarring and impudent address to UNGA yesterday (Wednesday), Sharif repeated the same shrill and clichéd statements to belie Pakistan’s diabolical support to terrorism”. Dawn quoted former Karachi Stock Exchange chairman Arif Habib saying the stock markets tumbled on the hype created by the TV media about tensions between Pakistan and India after the recent terror attack in Uri in Kashmir.

“Even today we have heard support by the Prime Minister of Pakistan for a self-acknowledged commander of a known terrorist organisation”, she said.

Sharif had glorified a self-declared terrorist (Burhan Wani) belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen.

He urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to consult all political parties in taking a concrete and tangible step against Pakistan.

Sharif said that instead of hurling accusations on Pakistan, India should stop its “atrocities”, claiming that it is involved in “serious human rights violations” in Kashmir.

India on Thursday said it had told Pakistan that infiltration of heavily armed terrorists from across the border can not take place without the “active and collaborative support of Pakistani security forces”.

Asked if India was preparing any fresh dossier on Pakistan’s involvement in terrorist activities, Swarup said: “We don’t need a dossier; the whole world is aware of Pakistan’s role in promoting terror”.

India will not hold any dialogue with a Pakistan “run by a warmachine that holds the gun of terrorism and glorifies terrorists”.

Gambhir said Pakistan was a “democracy deficit” country and “practises terrorism on its own people”.

“The Security Council has called for the exercise of the right to self- determination by the people of Jammu and Kashmir through a free and fair plebiscite held under the United Nations auspices”.

He also referred to Russia and said that there has been continuous communication between the MEA and its Russian counterparts and everyone knows Russia’s stand on terrorism.
