India Fires Back at Pakistan For Bringing Up Kashmir at UNSC Debate
12:56 15.12.2022 (Updated: 12:13 31.01.2023) The Indian Foreign Minister is currently visiting New York to preside as India assumes the presidency of the 15-member UN Security Council (UNSC).
Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar mounted a sharp counterattack on Islamabad at the United Nations on Thursday.
The clash came after Pakistani FM Bilawal Bhutto Zardari brought up the matter of Kashmir during a debate on the New Orientation for Reformed Multilateralism System (NORMS) chaired by New Delhi under its UNSC presidency this month.
“Parties to a dispute cannot advocate multilateral process one day, multilateral reforms one day and insist on bilateral avenues the next and ultimately impose unilateral actions,” Pakistan's Foreign Minister stated in an apparent reference to New Delhi’s consistent stance that the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan.
As such, New Delhi has
rejected criticism over its August 2019 decision to scrap the semi-autonomous status of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state, saying that anything related to the region is India’s “internal matter”.
In response to Zardari’s remarks, Jaishankar stated that the “credibility” of the UN depended on its “effective response” to key global challenges such as pandemics, climate change, terrorism or conflicts, and warned against justifying what the “world regards as unacceptable.”
“That certainly applies to state sponsorship of cross-border terrorism. Nor can hosting Osama Bin Laden and attacking a neighboring Parliament serve as credentials to sermonize before this Council,” the Indian foreign minister remarked.
Islamabad has been accused of providing a support system to the mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, former al-Qaeda* chief Osama Bin Laden, who is claimed to have been killed in a US-led intel-driven operation in Pakistan’s Abbottabad, a garrison town near capital Islamabad, in May 2011 during Obama's presidency.
In 2001, five heavily-armed terrorists from Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM)** and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)*** stormed the Indian Parliament in New Delhi, leading to the death of nine people, including six security personnel.
India Reiterates Calls for Inclusive UNSC
Speaking at the debate earlier, Jaishankar complained that the question of reforming the UN Security Council by expanding its membership to include countries like India had been discussed for over three decades without much success.
“While the debate on reforms has meandered aimlessly, the real world meanwhile has changed dramatically,” he stated.
On Thursday, Jaishankar is also scheduled to take part in another debate on "Global Approach to Counter Terrorism - Challenges and the Way Forward.”
