Meanwhile, India has strongly reacted to Imran Khan’s speech calling it a “diplomatic low.” India’s envoy to United Nations, TS Trimurti in a tweet said, “PM of Pakistan statement a new diplomatic low – at 75th UN General Assembly.”
PM of Pakistan statement a new diplomatic low – at 75th UN General Assembly. Another litany of vicious falsehood, personal attacks, war mongering and obfuscation of Pakistan’s persecution of its own minorities & of its cross-border terrorism. Befitting Right of Reply awaits.
