| 'India mother of terrorism in South Asia,' Maleeha Lodhi tells UN |
| 2017-09-25 |
| [DAWN] Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... Maleeha Lodhi said that India is the mother of terrorism in South Asia, reported the state-run radio service on Sunday. In her response to the allegations of terrorism levelled against Pakistain by India's External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in her address at the UN General Assembly session in New York, Lodhi said India is using terrorism as a state policy. Exercising the right of reply to an earlier speech, Lodhi accused Swaraj of "indulging in an orgy of slander against Pakistain." On Saturday, Sushma Swaraj in her address accused Islamabad of terrorism. In her diatribe, she had said, "Pakistain is recognised only as the pre-eminent export factory for terror." "Her comments towards my country betray the hostility that the Indian leadership has towards Pakistain ‐the hostility we have endured for 70 years," Ambassador Lodhi told the 72nd UNGA. "Indian spy Kulbhushan Yadav has confessed of committing terrorism in Pakistain," Lodhi said. "Repeating falsehoods year after year does not and cannot conceal or alter the truth. But in her vitriol she deliberately ignored the core issue of Jammu and Kashmire." Lodhi noted Jammu and Kashmire was not a part of India and was recognised by the United Nations and the international community as ’disputed" territory’. "I invite all of you, and the Indian FM, to look at the UN maps," she said. The Pak diplomat said that India's military occupation of the State was illegal as the UN Security Council had, in over a dozen resolutions, decided that the dispute must be resolved by enabling the people of Jammu and Kashmire to determine their own destiny through a UN-supervised plebiscite. India has been levelling allegations against Pakistain to divert international attention from the brutalities of Indian forces in held Kashmire, she said. The crimes against humanity in held Kashmire should be investigated. She also urged the international community to stop India from ceasefire violations on the Line of Control. Pakistain wants a resolution of all outstanding issues through talks, she said, adding that India will have to give up the policy of terrorism. Lodhi recalled that India's brutal occupation of Kashmire has killed over 100,000 innocent Kashmiris. Although India had launched a campaign of brutality inside Kashmire ‐ including the shooting and blinding of innocent Kashmiri children with pellet guns ‐ and yet had failed to subdue these Kashmiri children, women and youth who came out on the streets almost daily to demand that India get out of occupied Kashmire. |

| #1 Lodhi brnadished a photo of an alleged Kashmiri victim of Indian Police pellet guns. Problem is, that is an alleged Palestinian. To be fair to Mrs Lodhi, Mother India has many children, including Pakistani terrorists |
