Pakistan is Terroristan: India's jibe at the neighbour

Earlier at the UN, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had accused India of ignoring the plight of Kashmiris.

He said that the 'struggle of the people in the region is being brutally suppressed by India'.

In a fitting response, India, while exercising the 'Right to Reply' said that the statement was extraordinary, coming from a nation that houses designated terrorists.

"In its short history, Pakistan is a geography synonymous with terror. The quest for a land of pure has actually produced 'the land of pure terror'. Pakistan is now Terroristan with a flourishing industry producing and exporting global terrorism," Eenam Gambhir, India's First Secretary to the UN, said on Thursday.

India also accused Pakistan of providing political support to terrorists.

Gambhir added, "Its current state can be gauged from the fact that Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, a leader of the UN designated terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, is now sought to be legitimized as a leader of a political party."

Gambhir also stated that despite the difficulties, Kashmir will always be a part of India and that Pakistan will never succeed in undermining India's territorial integrity.

"In so far as India is concerned, Pakistan must understand that the state of Jammu and Kashmir is and will always remain an integral part of India. However much it scales up cross-border terrorism, it will never succeed in undermining India's territorial integrity," she said.

In her speech, Gambhir equated Pakistan's present scenario to that of Frankenstein's as he termed the state as a 'polluter paying the price'.

"Even as terrorists thrive in Pakistan and roam its streets with impunity, we have heard it lecture about human rights in India. The world does not need lessons on democracy and human rights from a country whose own situation is charitably described as a failed state," she added.
