Sushma Swaraj to give stinging response to Pakistan at UNGA

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday arrived in New York, where she is expected to give a stinging response to Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s “tirade” on Kashmir at the UN General Assembly and attack the country for using terrorism as an “instrument of state policy”. Official Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs, Vikas Swarup shared a picture on Twitter.

With a focus on tackling terrorism, India will corner Pakistan, which used the world body forum to talk extensively about Kashmir four days ago, for being a “terrorist state”.

India made its sharpest attack on Pakistan on Thursday, calling the country home to the “Ivy League of Terrorism” which carries out “war crimes” and pitches for talks with a “gun in its hand”.
Outlining India’s focus for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session, India’s envoy to the UN Syed Akbaruddin had said that terrorism is the “primary concern” for India as well as for nations across the world.Swaraj will address the UN general debate and is expected to give a stinging response to Sharif’s speech.

Minister of State for External Affairs M J Akbar had earlier said glorification of Burhan Wani, commander of the militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen, by Sharif at the world forum is an act of “self-incrimination” by Pakistan.
