Member of Parliament (MP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi expressed strong objection to Pakistan’s attempts to deviate from the UN session on peacekeepers and lie about the Indian territory of Jammu and Kashmir. He exercised his right of reply and reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir, “was, is and will remain an integral part of India”. An interesting moment came when the representative of Pakistan, while speaking on the same topic of UN peacekeeping, tried to deviate from the topic and said that the UN had deployed peacekeepers in Jammu and Kashmir in 1948 as a disputed territory.
Jammu and Kashmir was, is and will remain an integral part of India: Trivedi
Taking strong objection to this comment, Trivedi immediately opted for ROR (Right to Reply) and firmly stated in the House that, “The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir was, is and will remain an integral part of India”. He also told the forum that proper democratic elections had been held in the Union Territory recently and reprimanded Pakistan for using the UN forum for non-substantive and misleading words.
In his speech he said, “India chooses to respond to the comments made by Pakistan, which has once again attempted to divert this prestigious institution from its agenda. We would like to state that the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India Was, is and will remain an integral part of it”.
Pakistan should desist from rhetoric and lies: BJP spokesperson
He said, “The people of Jammu and Kashmir have recently exercised their democratic and electoral rights and elected a new government. Pakistan should desist from such rhetoric and lies as it will not change the facts. “Out of respect for respected members, India will refrain from responding to any attempts by Pakistan to abuse UN processes.”
Trivedi in his post on Pakistan’s involvement with UN peacekeepers began when the UN deployed peacekeepers in the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir in 1948.”
