UNGA address: Sushma hits at Pakistan with harsh words

September 29, 2018 19:51

EAM Sushma Swaraj at UNGA:

"The biggest challenge of our era comes from the existential threats of climate change and terrorism.

"If we have to save the world from the adverse effects of climate change, then developed nations must lift the deprived with financial and technical resources.

"The world is facing the threat of terrorism today, but it is India's misfortune that it is not threatened by a distant country, but our neighbouring country.

"Our neighbour's expertise is not restricted to spawning grounds for terrorism; it is also an expert in trying to mask malevolence with verbal duplicity.

"The best example is Osama Bin Laden's killing in Pakistan.

"We are accused of sabotaging the process of talks. This is a complete lie. We believe that talks are only rational means to resolve the most complex of disputes. Talks with Pakistan have begun many times. If they stopped, it was only because of their behavior."
