New York: India on Thursday delivered one of the harshest criticism of Pakistan in an international forum in recent times.
Formally responding to Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's attacks on India during his speech to the General Assembly on Wednesday, Indian diplomat Eenam Gambhir said, "The worst violation of human rights is terrorism. When practiced as an instrument of state policy it is a war crime."
Gambhir, who is a First Secretary at India's UN Mission, was exercising the right of reply to Sharif's caustic statements about India.
Gambhir traced the web of terror spanning the world that converges on Pakistan and said, "The land of Taxila, one of the greatest learning centres of ancient times, is now host to the Ivy League of terrorism.”
