Kshitij Tyagi’s Speech at UN
In his reply at the United Nations on behalf of India, Kshitij Tyagi condemned the baseless and malicious assertions perpetrated against India by Pakistan and reiterated his right of reply. “It is regrettable to see Pakistan’s so-called leaders and delegates continuing to dutifully spread falsehoods handed down by its military terrorist complex,” he stated in his reply.
The young diplomat also accused Pakistan of making a mockery out of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), acting merely as its mouthpiece to fool nobody. He continued to say, “We do not wish to dignify such propaganda, but are constrained to make a few simple points for the record.”
Tyagi reiterated that Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh would always form an integral and inalienable part of India. “The unprecedented political, social and economic progress in J&K in the past few years speaks for itself. These successes are a testament to the people’s trust in the government’s commitment to bring normalcy to a region scarred by decades of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism,” he said.
He went on to point out that human rights violator and minority persecutor Pakistan could in no way take a moral stand in this regard. In fact, the Indian Counsellor said, Pakistan should stop being fixated on India and focus instead on serving governance and justice to its own people.
