Stop India from fuelling terror, Pak urges U.N.

January 07, 2017 12:50 am | Updated 12:50 am IST - KARACHI:

Pakistan’s Ambasador to the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi on Friday submitted a dossier asking the world body to restrain India from interfering in and undertaking activities aimed at destabilising the country.

“Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi today delivered a dossier on India's interference and terrorism in Pakistan to the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres along with a letter from Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz,” a Foreign Ministry statement stated.

The Ambassador claimed that the dossier contains proof of India and its agency, RAW’s interference in Pakistan and involvement in terrorism, particularly in Balochistan, FATA and Karachi. “This is a follow-up to the three dossiers, which were shared with the United Nations in October 2015,” Foreign Office said.

In the covering letter sent with the dossier, Mr. Aziz said the arrest of Indian RAW agent Kulbhushan Yadav from Balochistan and his confessional statement, admitting involvement in activities aimed at destabilising Pakistan, and support to terrorist elements, vindicated Pakistan’s long-standing allegation on India’s involvement in such activities.

He stated that India was carrying out these activities in clear contravention of the U.N. Charter and the resolutions of the U.N. Security Council on counter-terrorism and international conventions. India’s hostile intentions towards Pakistan were also borne out by recent statements of its leadership, the letter said.
