Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj on Saturday rejected Pakistan’s accusation that New Delhi was sabotaging peace talks with Islamabad.
In her speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, Swaraj accused Pakistan of harboring and aiding terrorists.
“In our case, terrorism is bred not in some faraway land, but across our border to the west,” Swaraj said. “Our neighbor’s expertise is not restricted to spawning grounds for terrorism; it is also an expert in trying to mask malevolence with
verbal duplicity,” she added.
Indian foreign minister said that Hafiz Saeed, the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, “still roams the streets of Pakistan with impunity.” Last week, India canceled a proposed UNGA meeting between Swaraj and her Pakistani counterpart, Shah Mahmood Qureshi. The move was sharply criticized by Islamabad, which accused Indian authorities of sabotaging regional peace.
The Indian Foreign Ministry said it cancelled the talks following the “latest brutal killings of our security personnel by Pakistan-based entities” in Kashmir, and the release of a series of Pakistani postage stamps “glorifying a terrorist and terrorism.”
