India launched a sharp attack on Pakistan at the United Nations General Assembly, calling it a regime “of the army, by the army, and for the army” and accusing Islamabad of using terrorism, deceit and duplicity to advance its interests.Exercising India's Right of Reply after Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's address, First Secretary at India's Permanent Mission to the UN Petal Gahlot said the world should have no illusion about who calls the shots in Pakistan.“
We heard some hypocritical homilies about democratic rights and human values from a regime whose capital at this very moment is being fortified against its own people. And that, Mr President, is happening because this is a regime of the army, by the army, and for the army,” Gahlot said.“ Their puppets may come and go, but let us have no illusion about who calls the shots,” she added.Gahlot also invoked Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden's presence in Abbottabad, near the Pakistani Army's premier academy, while hitting back at what she described as “bizarre remarks” by Pakistan's representative.“
This happens just a fortnight after New York City and the world marked the 25th anniversary of the horrendous 9-11 terrorist attack. This context is important to keep in mind because its mastermind, Osama bin Laden, was living right on the doorstep of the Pakistani Army's premier academy,” she said.She further accused Pakistan of hypocrisy over issues of religious intolerance and human rights, saying the country's record on minorities contradicted the claims made at the UN.“
The views we heard emanate from those with a long record of bigotry and hatred. They claim to uphold security during the day; they actually carry out terrorism at night,” Gahlot said.“ This Assembly was subjected to remarks about religious intolerance from the very regime whose mainstay is blasphemy laws. The world knows how minorities are treated in Pakistan. No pious platitude can mislead it,” she added.( Developing story.
