India hits back at Nawaz: De-terrorising Pakistan will bring peace

Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, October 1, 2015:  India has reacted strongly to Nawaz Sharif’s Kashmir rant at the United Nations. In a series of tweets, MEA Spokesperson Vikas Swarup has given a point by point rebuttal to Pakistan.

"To de-militarise Kashmir is not the answer, to de-terrorise Pakistan is," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted after Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif raked up Kashmir issue in his address at UN General Assembly.

Addressing the UN general assembly on Wednesday, Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif raised the Kashmir issue again and said that the non-resolution of the Kashmir issue reflected failure of the UN. He proposed a 4-point "peace initiative" with India which includes demilitarisation of Kashmir.

Playing the victim card, Pakistan Prime Minister even blamed India for the ceasefire violations at the LoC.

On Sharif describing Pakistan as the "primary victim" of terrorism, Swarup said, "Pakistan is not primary victim of terrorism but of its own policies. It is in fact the prime sponsor of terrorism." Swarup further tweeted that Pakistans "instability arises from its breeding of terrorists. Blaming neighbours is not a solution." Reacting to Sharifs remarks that "Palestinians and Kashmiris (are) oppressed by foreign occupation", Swarup said the "Pak PM gets foreign occupation right, occupier wrong.

We urge early vacation of Pak occupied Kashmir." Sharif had equated Kashmir with Palestine while talking about "suffering of Muslims across the world", saying "Palestinians and Kashmiris (are) oppressed by foreign occupation."
