India gave a strong reply to Pakistan over its comments on the Kashmir issue at the 184th session of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly in Geneva. 

Using India's Right to Reply, the Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Harivansh Narayan Singh made a strong statement reiterating New Delhi's steadfast position regarding its territories. 

"I take the floor to reject the preposterous comments made by Pakistan against my country. India is the largest democracy in the world, and I am privileged that many consider the Indian democracy a model to be emulated," Harivash said.

He went on to say that "lectures" by a nation that has an "abysmal track record of democracy is laughable, to say the least." 

"It would have been better if Pakistan did not undermine the importance of a platform like IPU by such absurd allegations and false narratives," he said. 

Responding to the comments made by Pakistan about Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, the Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha said, "As regards the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, they have been and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India. No amount of rhetoric and propaganda from anyone can override this fact."

Further attacking Islamabad, Harivansh said that Pakistan should focus on stopping its "terror factories that continue to launch countless cross-border terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir while farcically claiming to champion the cause of human rights".

He also reminded the forum that the face of global terror, Osama Bin Laden "was found in Pakistan." 

"The country holds the ignoble record of hosting one of the largest number of terrorists proscribed by the UN Security Council," he said.
