Foreign minister Sushma Swaraj arrives at UN for her General Assembly address.
Here are five big quotes from Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj's speech at the United Nations General Assembly, where she laid into Pakistan and its Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, for a series of terror strikes in india including this month's attack at an army camp in Uri in Kashmir.
Here are her Top 5 quotes:
Terrorism is undoubtedly the biggest violation of human rights. Let us ask the real question: who finances these terrorists, who arms them and provides sanctuaries? Nations in which UN designated terrorists, roam freely, lead processions and deliver their poisonous sermons of hate with impunity, are as culpable as the very terrorists they harbour. "
The PM of Pakistan used this podium to make baseless allegations about human rights violations in my country. Those accusing others of human rights violations would do well to introspect and see what egregious abuses they are perpetrating in their own country, including in Balochistan.
The PM of Pakistan said that India has placed pre-conditions for talks which are not acceptable to him. Did we impose any pre-condition before extending an invitation for the oath-taking ceremony of our Government? Did we impose any pre-condition when Prime Minister Modi travelled from Kabul to Lahore?
We have attempted a paradigm of friendship in the last two years which is without precedent. We conveyed Eid greetings to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, wished success to his cricket team... And what did we get in return? Pathankot, Bahadur Ali, and Uri.
It (Pakistan) persists in the belief that such attacks will enable it to obtain the territory it covets. My firm advice to Pakistan is: abandon this dream. Let me state unequivocally that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and will always remain so.
