'Loud and Clear': India Tells Pakistan at UN That Jammu and Kashmir Will Always Remain Part of India
India on Friday accused Pakistan of misusing its temporary UN Security Council membership to spread false narratives. India's Permanent Representative P Harish said Pakistan's âempty rhetoric and hollow claimsâ cannot change the fact that Jammu and Kashmir âwas, is and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India.â
United Nations, June 6: Pakistan is abusing its temporary membership of the Security Council to peddle false narratives, and it should be mindful of its responsibilities on the body, India said on Friday. âEmpty rhetoric and hollow claims by Pakistan would not change this fundamental realityâ that âJammu and Kashmir was, is and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India," Indiaâs Permanent Representative P Harish said.

He was responding to Pakistanâs Permanent Representative Asim Iftikhar Ahmadâs references to the Union Territory during a discussion of the Councilâs Annual Report to the General Assembly. He said Pakistan was abusing its presence on the Council âthrough the circulation of several misinformed and misleading communicationsâ and using âaugust UN platforms for their divisive political interestsâ. Pakistanâs two-year term as an elected member of the Council, which it has used to attack India at any turn and with no relevance to the subject on the agenda, runs out at the end of this year.

âI would like to remind Pakistan that being a member of the UN Security Council is a huge responsibility. It is not a forum for peddling biased and false narratives," Harish said. He mocked Pakistanâs illusions about the future of Kashmir. âI would like to make it loud and clear, âJammu and Kashmir was, is and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of Indiaâ," he declared. âAny assertions to the contrary are baseless, devoid of and inconsistent with historical facts," he said. âEmpty rhetoric and hollow claims by Pakistan would not change this fundamental realityâ.
