Freedom Fighter is a terrorist… Shahbaz Sharif’s country’s most despicable act in UN; India’s answer – Pakistan is the epicenter of terror – united nations general assembly pakistan tag terrorist freedom fighters india say epicentre of terror

During the debate in the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, Pakistan’s representative Muhammad Jawad Ajmal claimed that those attacking India were freedom fighters who were carrying out legitimate resistance against foreign occupation. India’s First Secretary Raghu Puri strongly protested against this statement and said, ‘Terrorism is the most heinous crime that destroys the core of humanity. It is a symbol of fanaticism, violence, intolerance and fear and terrorists represent the lowest class of human society. Puri described Pakistan’s statement as an example of two-faced policy and hypocrisy. He said, ‘Pakistan is a well-known bastion of global terrorism. It has international networks of many terrorist organizations, whose targets have been innocent civilians across the world.

Attempt to portray terrorists as freedom fighters

India said that Pakistan is deliberately distorting the interpretation of international law. Puri said that the UN treaties and resolutions that Islamabad cites themselves make it clear that terrorism can never be justified for any political, religious or ideological reason. Ajmal made his comments during a conversation with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Fundamental Freedoms while Countering Terrorism. This discussion took place at a time when consensus has not been reached on the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism proposed by India for years. This has happened mainly due to the opposition of Pakistan and some countries, who try to label terrorists as freedom fighters.

rage of islamophobia

Pakistan also alleged in its statement that the UN counter-terrorism policies target a particular religion. To this, India gave a befitting reply and said that this is a failed attempt to hide its own crimes by citing Islamophobia. Puri reminded the committee that terrorism is not just a problem for any country but is the biggest threat to the entire humanity. He said, ‘The countries which shelter terrorism, fund it and try to justify it are the biggest violators of human rights. Pakistan is at the top among them.
