Innocent Indian women have suffered for long due to the persistent terrorist acts perpetrated by “proxies of Pakistan”, India has said strongly rejecting references by Islamabad to conditions of women in Kashmir.
Counsellor Mayank Joshi in India’s Permanent Mission to the UN at United Nations “completely” rejected the “baseless allegations” made by Pakistan about women in Jammu and Kashmir, saying “in fact” it is the innocent Indian women, who have for “long suffered due to the persistent terrorist acts perpetrated by proxies of Pakistan.”
Joshi exercised India’s Right of Reply after Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s Special Envoy on Kashmir Shezra Mansab Ali Khan referred to the conditions of women in Kashmir during an October 11 session on Advancement of Women in the General Assembly’s Third Committee, which focuses on social and humanitarian issues. Khan said armed conflict and illegal occupation accentuates the plight of women.
