India calls Pakistan a terrorist state in furious response at UN

WASHINGTON: Bluntly calling Pakistan a terrorist state and a global epicenter of terrorism, India on Wednesday told the United Nations that Islamabad's use of terrorism as instrument of state policy is a war crime.

"The worst violation of human rights is terrorism. When practiced as an instrument of state policy it is a war crime," a junior Indian diplomat tasked with exercising India's right of reply to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's speech, in which he had raised the human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir, said.

First Secretary Eenam Gambhir's response to what she described as Pakistan's "long tirade" about the situation in J and K, expressed earlier in a speech by the country's prime minister Nawaz Sharif, was short, furious, and unprecedented in its intensity and descriptions. It also indicated a new Indian resolve to have Pakistan formally designated a nuclear proliferating terrorist state based on its record and evidence of its nurturing of terror groups.

Pakistan a ‘terrorist state’, ‘Ivy League of terrorism’, war criminal: India’s brutal takedown at United Nations

NEW DELHI: Pakistan is a 'terrorist state', the 'Ivy League of terrorism', a country with a 'democracy deficit' that 'practices terrorism on its own people' and a country that indulges in a 'war crime'. This parsed sentence was the essence of India's brutal smackdown of Pakistan and the speech of its Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in the early hours of Thursday.
India exercised its right of reply on the floor of the UNGA, to respond to what it called the 'hypocritical sermons' by Sharif. "The worst violation of human rights is terrorism. When practiced as an instrument of state policy it is a war crime. What my country and our other neighbours are facing today is Pakistan's long-standing policy of sponsoring terrorism, the consequences of which have spread well beyond our region," said Eenam Gambhir, First Secretary at India's Permanent Mission to the UN.

US tells Pakistan to 'limit nukes', Pakistan says 'no'

NEW DELHI: Even as India considers military options to deal with cross-border terror after Sunday's Uri attack, a comment from Pakistan today - especially its timing - should give pause to anyone in New Delhi considering ill-thought-out plans of retaliation.

"Pakistan's nuclear program cannot be restricted," said Pakistan's permanent representative to the UN, Maleeha Lodhi, today in a New York press conference, Pakistani media reported.

Lodhi said that at a meeting with US secretary of state John Kerry urged Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to limit Pakistan's atomic program. In response, Sharif told Kerry that what was expected of Pakistan must also be implemented by India, according to Lodhi.

"The world should first put an end to nuclear activities undertaken by India," Lodhi told reporters, adding that Pakistan's inclusion in the Nuclear Suppliers Group was also discussed during the meeting with Kerry.

Kashmir issue to dominate Nawaz Sharif’s address at UNGA on Wednesday

Kashmir issue will dominate in Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s address to the UN General Assembly in United Nations on Wednesday that comes at a time of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the terror attack in Uri.

The General Debate of the UN General Assembly opens Tuesday, with US President Barack Obama making his final appearance as Commander-in-Chief at the 71st session.

Sharif will address world leaders from the UNGA podium in the morning session on Wednesday.

While Pakistan has raised the Kashmir issue at the high-level segments of the General Assembly and other UN platforms in previous years, Sharif appears set to take an even more aggressive stand on Kashmir at the world body, having vowed in Pakistan to ’emphatically highlight’ the issue and the alleged human rights abuses by India.
