United Nations: India has dismissed as “unwarranted” Pakistan's attempt to rake up the Kashmir issue at the UN General Assembly and reasserted that the state remains an integral part of the country.
Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Masood Khan raked up the Kashmir issue in the third committee of the UNGA in a session on the right of people to self-determination, repeating his country's position that Jammu and Kashmir is “not an integral part of India”.
India, speaking at the session after Pakistan, said it is regrettable that an “unwarranted” reference to Jammu and Kashmir is made at the UNGA and is a distraction from the important issue of the rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination that was being discussed in the committee which deals with human rights and social issues.
