Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif raked up the Kashmir issue on Wednesday at the United Nations General Assembly, glorifying slain Hizbul commander Burhan Wani as a “young leader” and demanding an “independent inquiry into the extra-judicial killings”.
India’s response has been swift. Here are the top ten quotes from First Secretary in the Permanent Mission of India to the U.N. Eenam Gambhir's responses:
| 1 | What my country and our other neighbours are facing today is Pakistan’s long-standing policy of sponsoring terrorism. |
| 2 | Pakistan is a terrorist state. |
| 3 | Pakistan channelises billions of dollars, much of it diverted from international aid, to training, financing and supporting terrorist groups as militant proxies against it neighbours. |
| 4 | Pakistan extends support to extremist groups, it suppresses minorities and women and denies basic human rights including through draconian laws. |
| 5 | Pakistan’s nuclear proliferation record is marked by deception and deceit. |
| 6 | The effect of its (Pakistan's) toxic curriculum are felt across the globe |
| 7 | Terrorist entities and their leaders continue to roam the streets of Pakistan freely and operate with State’s support. |
| 8 | Pakistan is a democracy deficit country and practises terrorism on its own people. |
| 9 | The land of Taxila, one of the greatest learning centres of ancient times, is now host to the Ivy League of terrorism. |
| 10 | It is ironical that a country which has established itself as the global epicentre of terrorism, is preaching human rights and talks about the ostensible support for self-determination. |
