India has slammed Pakistan for raising the Kashmir issue at a UN General Assembly session. First Secretary in India’s Permanent Mission to the UN Paulomi Tripathi was responding to Pakistan envoy Maleeha Lodhi’s remarks.

Mr Tripathi said, it has become Islamabad’s habit to misuse any forum for narrow political gains. She insisted that the right to self-determination cannot be abused to undermine a nation’s territorial integrity.

Speaking at UNGA third Committee session yesterday on Elimination of Racism, Xenophobia and Right of People to Self-determination, Ms Tripathi said India reject the unwarranted reference made by one delegation to the State of Jammu and Kashmir which is an integral part of India.

Ms Tripathi also said immunities enjoyed by the social media platforms for contents by users, must be counterbalanced with responsible content moderation and norms for removing objectionable contents on a voluntary basis.
