India hit out at Pakistan for its litany of lies at the United Nations after Islamabad’s UN envoy claimed to have given a statement in a Security Council meeting not open to non-Council members and said the biggest sponsor of cross-border terrorism against it now tries to “masquerade” itself as a victim of terror.
Calling out Pakistan’s lie that it has been a target of cross-border terrorism for decades, India said “a lie repeated a hundred times will not become truth. The biggest sponsor of cross-border terrorism against India now tries to masquerade itself as a victim of terrorism by India,” India’s Permanent Mission to the UN said.
The Pakistan Mission falsely claimed that its UN envoy Munir Akram gave a statement at a Security Council debate on the report of the Secretary-General on threats to international peace and security posed by terrorism actions.
However, the Security Council meeting on threats to international peace and security was not open to non-members of the Council. A photograph of the meeting tweeted by the German Mission to the UN showed only envoys of the 15 Security Council members participating in the meeting. Pakistan is not a member of the Council. — PTI
