India At UN: Pakistan Should Immediately Vacate Areas Under Its 'Illegal Occupation'

Madhu Sudan also said that the perpetrators of 2008 Mumbai Terror Attack were still enjoying patronage of Pakistan.

New Delhi: India reiterated its stance regarding Jammu and Kashmir at the United Nations. On Wednesday, Counsellor at Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, R. Madhu Sudan said at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC)  that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and urged Pakistan to vacate the areas that it has occupied illegally. 

"Entire Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were, are, and will always be an integral part of India, irrespective of what the Pakistan representative believes... We call upon Pakistan to immediately vacate all areas under its illegal occupation," Madhusudan said.

 

Madhu Sudan responded to the allegations raised by the representative of Pakistan at the UN Munir Akram who claimed that India has been sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan. 

He said that Pakistan has been internationally recognised as sponsor of terrorism and that Pakistan was traced as the origin of some of the horrific terror attacks globally. "Pakistan has an established history of harbouring, aiding, and actively supporting terrorists. This is a country that has been globally recognised as a sponsor of terrorism," he added. 

Madhu Sudan also said that the perpetrators of 2008 Mumbai Terror Attack were still enjoying patronage of Pakistan. “This is not the first time that the representative of Pakistan has misused platform provided by the UN to propagate false and malicious propaganda against my country and seeking in vain to divert the world's attention from the sad state of his country, where terrorists enjoy free pass and likes of ordinary people and especially those belonging to the minority are turned upside down," he said.
