FULL SPEECH: India created IITs, IIMs, AIIMS while Pakistan produced Lashkar, Jaish, Hizbul: Sushma blasts Pak at UNGA
Describing terrorism as an "existentialist danger" to mankind, India today wondered how the international community will fight the menace if the UN Security Council cannot agree on the listing of terrorists.

In her address to the 72nd UN General Assembly session, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said terrorism is at the very top of problems for which the United Nations is searching for solutions.

Sushma said "since Independence India created educational institutions like IITs, IIMs and AIIMS while Pakistan has produced terror outfits like Jaish-e-Muhammad, Lashkar-eTaiba and Hizbul Mujahideen".

"If we cannot agree to define our enemy, how can we fight together? If we continue to differentiate between good terrorists and bad terrorists, how can we fight together? If even the United Nations Security Council cannot agree on the listing of terrorists, how can we fight together?" she said.

Swaraj was apparently referring to China, a veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council, which has repeatedly blocked India's move to put a ban on Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar under the Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the Council. The JeM has already been in the banned list.
