Pakistan raises Kashmir issue at UN |
Responding to Islamabad`s bid to raise the Kashmir issue for a second day at the UN Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva, India denounced Pakistan as a “failed state” where terrorists thrive and Osama Bin Laden received protection, and demanded that it bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai, Pathankot and Uri attacks to justice. Even as terrorists thrive in Pakistan and roam its streets with impunity, it lecture about the protection of human rights in India, Mini Devi Kumam, a Second Secretary at the India`s UN Mission in Geneva, said. India await credible action by the Government of Pakistan to bring all those involved in the 2008 Mumbai attack and the 2016 Pathankot and Uri attacks, she said. Kumam was responding to Tahir Andrabi, Pakistan`s UN Deputy Permanent Representative in Geneva, who earlier invoked Jawaharlal Nehru to make his case for a plebiscite in Kashmir.Andrabi said that at the heart of the Kashmir problem is the right to self-determination which was conceded by “the first Prime Minister of India, one of the founding fathers of India” and by the UN Security Council through a plebiscite. Kumum said, Pakistan keeps referring to UN Security Council Resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir.
