UNGA speech: Narendra Modi appreciates Sushma Swaraj
Modi tweeted: "Congrats to EAM @SushmaSwaraj for a firm, effective & fine articulation of a wide range of global issues at #UNGA."
Amid heightened tension between India and Pakistan since the militant attack in Uri town which left 18 soldiers martyred, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday sent out a tough message to Pakistan as she said that Kashmir is an integral part of India and will always 'remain so'.
"My firm advice to Pakistan is- abandon this dream. Jammu & Kashmir is an integral part of India and will always remain so," Swaraj said while addressing at the UNGA.
"Terrorism is the biggest violation of human rights, a crime against humanity itself. But we must ask - who benefits?," she said.
Attacking Pakistan, she said: "In our midst, there are nations that still speak the language of terrorism, that nurture it, peddle it, and export it."
She said India will continue to play a leading role in combating climate change.
India witnessed a major militant attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri town on Sept 18 which left 18 soldiers martyred.
