New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday indirectly hit out at Pakistan over cross-border terrorism while addressing a gathering in Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura. Without naming Pakistan, PM Modi said that the roots of terrorism are flourishing in the neighbourhood. “Today terrorism has become an ideology, which is not bound by national boundaries. This is a global problem. This has become a global threat whose deep roots are flourishing in our neighbourhood,” PM Modi said. India on Tuesday lambasted Pakistan at the UNNRC when it tried to internationalise the Kashmir issue alleging human rights violation in the valley. India said a country with a "gory record" on human rights had presented "false" and "concocted" narrative and asserted that New Delhi will accept no foreign interference on the internal matter. India highlighted that Pakistan is the "epicenter of terrorism", which conducts cross-border terrorism "as a form of 'alternate diplomacy' vis-a-vis India, and cautioned the world body against allowing its platform to be misused by such nations. "Pakistan has today pretended to speak as the voice of the global community on human rights. But the world cannot be fooled. Pakistan's gory record speaks for itself," said Vimarsh Aryan, First Secretary at the Permanent Mission of India to UNHRC. He was responding on behalf of India to Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi's address in which he leveled wild and unsubstantiated allegations regarding Jammu and Kashmir.
