United Nations, 25 Oct: India has said it will treat a reference by Pakistan to Kashmir during a Security Council meeting on the Israel-Gaza situation with the contempt it deserves and will not dignify it with a response.<\/p>\n
The remarks by India\u2019s Deputy Permanent Representative at the UN, Ambassador R Ravindra, came on Tuesday after Pakistan\u2019s UN envoy Munir Akram made reference to Kashmir at the Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore I end, there was a remark of habitual nature by one delegation referring to Union Territories that are integral and inalienable parts of my country,\u201d Ravindra said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would treat these remarks with contempt they deserve and not dignify them with a response in the interest of time,\u201d Ravindra said.<\/p>\n
Earlier, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the Security Council meeting that all acts of terrorism are unlawful and unjustifiable, whether they are carried out by Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based terror outfit, or by Hamas, targeting people in Mumbai or Kibbutz Beeri.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must affirm the right of any nation to defend itself and to prevent such horror from repeating itself. No member of this Council, no nation in this entire body could or would tolerate the slaughter of its people,\u201d Blinken said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs this Council and the UN General Assembly have repeatedly affirmed, all acts of terrorism are unlawful and unjustifiable. They’re unlawful and unjustifiable, whether they target people in Nairobi or Bali\u2026 Istanbul or Mumbai, in New York or Kibbutz Be\u2019eri,\u201d Blinken told the UN Security Council.<\/p>\n
“They are unlawful and unjustifiable whether they’re carried out by ISIS, by Boko Haram, by Al Shabaab, by Lashkar-e-Taiba or by Hamas. They are unlawful and unjustifiable whether victims are targeted for their faith, their ethnicity, their nationality or any other reason,\u201d Blinken said.<\/p>\n
He stressed that the Security Council has a responsibility to denounce member states that arm, fund and train Hamas or \u201cany other terrorist group that carries out such horrific acts.\u201d Blinken\u2019s remarks appeared to make a reference to the 26\/11 Mumbai terror attacks carried out by Pakistan-based terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba.
