“Many countries get left behind due to circumstances beyond their control, but some make conscious choices with disastrous consequences.  A premier example is our neighbor, Pakistan,” External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said in his address to the General Debate of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.

Hitting out strongly at Pakistan a day after the country’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif referred to Jammu and Kashmir in his UNGA address and a Right to Reply exercised by a Pakistan diplomat, Jaishankar told the UN General Assembly that Islamabad’s “misdeeds” affect others as well, especially the neighborhood.

“When this policy instills such fanaticism among the people, its GDP can only be measured in terms of radicalization and its exports in the form of terrorism, he said. “Today we see the ills it sought to visit on others consume its society.  it can’t blame the world.  This is only karma” Jaishankar said in a strongly-worded condemnation of Pakistan.

He said that a dysfunctional nation coveting the lands of others must be exposed and must be countered. “We heard some bizarre assertions from it at this very forum yesterday.  So let me make India’s position clear. Pakistan’s cross-border terrorism policy will never succeed, and it cannot expect impunity.  On the contrary, actions will certainly have consequences, “Jaishankar said.

“The issue to be resolved between us is now only the vacation of illegally occupied Indian territory by Pakistan, and of course, the abandonment of Pakistan’s long-standing attachment to terrorism,” he said, Jaishankar also said that terrorism is antithetical to everything that the world stands for.  

“All its forms of and manifestations must be resolutely opposed.  The sanctioning of global terrorists by the United Nations should also not be impeded for political reasons, he said. 

The remark comes against the backdrop of China, Pakistan’s all-weather ally, repeatedly placing holds on and blocking proposals submitted by India and its partners, such as the US, to designate Pakistan-based terrorists under the 1267 Al Qaida Sanctions Committee of the Security Council.”   (Maxim News)
