Maleeha Lodhi

India has slammed Pakistan for raising the issue of Jammu and Kashmir at a forum of the United Nations, saying Islamabad employs "empty rhetoric" to serve its "distorted agenda" and continues to engage in spreading unsubstantiated allegations.

Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Maleeha Lodhi had to leave from an event after a man heckled and accused her of corruption, saying "You are a thief and don't deserve to represent Pakistan".

India had a photograph to show the United Nations General Assembly on Monday -- that of Ummer Fayaz, the young army officer who had been dragged out of a wedding party and gunned down by terrorists in Kashmir in May this year.

The photo of a girl -- her face bearing multiple bruises -- which Pakistan's Maleeha Lodhi brandished at the United Nations on Saturday evening as an example of "Indian brutality" in Kashmir turns out to be of a resident of Palestine.

Pakistan accused India of adopting a posture of that of a "predator" and said if the international community wishes to avoid a dangerous escalation between the two neighbours, it must call on New Delhi to halt its provocations and aggressive actions.

Pakistan today handed over a dossier on India's alleged "interference" in the country to new UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and asked the world body to play a role in "restraining" India from such activities, according to the Pakistani Foreign Office.

Pakistan has drawn the attention of the United Nations to what it said was India's "intention" to escalate tension on the Line of Control by launching artillery barrages, which were threatening regional peace and security.

Pakistan has ratified the Paris Agreement on Climate Change at a ceremony held at United Nations Headquarters in New York, becoming the 104th country in the world to ratify the landmark deal.

Hitting back strongly at Pakistan, India today said its citizens have faced repeated "inhuman" terror attacks by "proxies" of Pakistan, which continues to abuse the concept of self-determination to bolster territorial aggrandizement against it.

Advising India and Pakistan to work towards reducing tensions, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon on Friday said he was willing to mediator if both countries agreed.

Pakistan's UN envoy asked the president of the United Nations Security Council on Thursday to informally brief the body on the country's escalating tension with India and said she will discuss it with UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Friday.

Pakistan won't limit its nuclear programme, its UN envoy Maleeha Lodhi said on Wednesday, a day after Washington urged Islamabad to curtail its atomic activities.

Indian envoy to UN, Syed Akbaruddin was reacting to the remarks made by Pakistan's envoy Maleeha Lodhi on Kashmir and Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani's killing last week.

India's new Permanent Representative to the UN Syed Akbaruddin met his Pakistani counterpart Maleeha Lodhi and they had a "useful discussion."

Reacting sharply to Pakistan raking up Kashmir issue at the UN, India has asserted that Islamabad's unabated support for terror groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir is the main challenge to safeguard human rights of its citizens in the state.
