When senior Pakistani military and civilian officials publicly glorify and pay homage to such notorious terrorists, can there be any doubt about the proclivities of this regime?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Responding to Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s claims about the recent conflict between the two countries, Gahlot dismissed them as \u201cbizarre\u201d and misleading. \u201cThe Prime Minister of Pakistan also advanced a bizarre account of the recent conflict with India. The record on this matter is clear, as till 9th May, Pakistan was threatening more attacks on India. But on 10th May, the military pleaded with us directly for a cessation to the fighting,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She further accused Pakistan of being responsible for terrorist attacks on Indian soil and emphasized India\u2019s right to self-defence. \u201cThe truth is that, as in the past, Pakistan is responsible for a terrorist attack on innocent civilians in India. We have exercised the right to defend our people against such actions and have brought the organizers and perpetrators to justice,\u201d Gahlot said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gahlot also responded to Sharif\u2019s claims of wanting peace with India. \u201cThe Pakistani Prime Minister has spoken about wanting peace with India. If he is indeed sincere, the pathway is clear. Pakistan must immediately shut down all terrorist camps and hand over to us the terrorists wanted in India,\u201d she stated firmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlighting Pakistan\u2019s internal contradictions, she added, \u201cIt is also ironic that a country which wallows in hate, bigotry, and intolerance should preach to this Assembly on matters of faith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remarks were made following Sharif&#8217;s address, in which he controversially credited US President Donald Trump with preventing a potential war between India and Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York, In a sharp and strongly-worded response, India slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s address at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), accusing him of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,3,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-display","category-international","category-top-news","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=558"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":560,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558\/revisions\/560"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
