Pakistan raises issue of Indian state terrorism at UN

Pakistan raises issue of Indian state terrorism at UN
July 8, 2020
NEW YORK (92 News) – Pakistan has raised the issue of Indian state terrorism at United Nations (UN) on Wednesday.  Speaking in a webinar on ‘the Global Scourge of Terrorism: Assessment of High-Risk Threats and Trends, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to UN Munir Akram has called on UN to include Hindutva fascism in its counter-terrorism endeavours, as its dystopian narrative, like other forms of violent supremacist movements, also fuels terrorism. He said the racist and fascist ideology of Hindutva, practiced by the ruling BJP and its militant parent, the RSS in India, poses an existential threat to the 180 million Muslims of that country. Referring to the sponsoring, funding, and support of terrorism by the state and non-state actors, Munir Akram said terror outfits are being used as ‘guns for hire’ by India to destabilize Pakistan.
