India at UNSC Open Debate on ‘Maintenance of International Peace & Security - Conflict and Food Security’

19 May 2022

Thank you, Mr. President, 

I am constrained to take the floor again at this late hour. In the interest of time, I will be brief. 

Pakistan Representative made unwarranted remarks, which symbolizes nothing but a pavlovian response aimed to misuse any forum, and every topic, to propagate false and malicious propaganda against my country. 

The Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were, are and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India. This includes the areas that are under the illegal occupation of Pakistan. 

No amount of rhetoric and propaganda from any country can deny this fact.

The only contribution that Pakistan can make is to stop state sponsored terrorism.

As regards to his other remarks, we will treat it with the contempt it deserves.
