India strongly criticized Pakistan at a UN Security Council debate, urging Islamabad to stop supporting terrorism in all its forms.
India's Permanent Representative to the UN, ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, slammed Pakistan for its "continued sponsorship of cross-border terrorism" and accused Islamabad of promoting extremist elements since its formation.
Harish said Pakistan's record since Independence has been shaped by aggression against India and repeated support for cross-border terrorism, and that the country's doctrine of 'bleeding India by a thousand cuts' exposes its hollow rhetoric of commitment to the UN Charter.
India has every right to defend itself from such cross-border terrorism, and Pakistan will have to accept that there are consequences of its sponsorship of cross-border terrorism, Harish said.
The Indian envoy also accused Islamabad of continuously promoting extremist elements and said that Pakistan must credibly and irrevocably end its support for all forms of terrorism.
