Pakistan’s UN Counselor Saima Saleem has categorically called on India to stop state terrorism and initiate meaningful dialogue.
Saima Saleem said this in response to India’s statement during the Security Council’s open debate.
Saima Saleem said that India has once again resorted to misleading information, diversion and denial. Round talk on India’s part cannot hide the facts.
Saima Saleem categorically stated that India mercilessly kills and injures civilians in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and targets civilians by carrying out unprovoked attacks on Pakistan.
India sponsors terrorism and target killings around the world
Pointing to the assassination of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Najjar in Canada and the conspiracy to assassinate Sikh leader Gurpatwant Singh in the US, Saima Saleem reminded the Security Council that India sponsors terrorism and target killings not only in Pakistan but across the world.
Saima Saleem said that Pakistan, along with the international community, condemned the Pahalgam incident. If India had nothing to hide, it should have agreed to an impartial, credible and independent investigation into the incident.
Targeting the Modi government’s unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty after the Pahalgam incident, Saima Saleem said that India has tried to stop the flow of rivers that are a symbol of life for 240 million people of Pakistan. Water is life, not a weapon of war.
