No takers for Pakistan’s malware: India's Permanent Representative to UN Syed Akbaruddin

New York/IBNS: Strongly responding to Pakistan, India on Thursday said the neighbouring nation should stop peddling falsehoods and heal itself of its "malaise".

Speaking at the UN Security Council, India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Syed Akbaruddin described the country as the one which epitomises the dark arts.

"It is increasingly acknowledged that the Council faces crises of identity and legitimacy, as well as relevance and performance. The globalisation of terror networks, the weaponisation of new technologies, the inability to counter those resorting to subversive statecraft are showing up the shortcomings of the Council," Akbaruddin said.

"One delegation that epitomises the dark arts has, yet again, displayed its wares by peddling falsehoods earlier today. These we dismiss with disdain," he said.

The Indian representative added, "My simple response to Pakistan is even though it is late, neighbour, heal thyself of your malaise. There are no takers here for your malware."

Akbaruddin made the comments after Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations, Munir Akram said if Pakistan is attacked, it will respond “resolutely and effectively”, as was demonstrated in February last year.

“Pakistan does not want war with India,” Ambassador Munir Akram told the UN Security Council which held a debate on upholding the U.N. Charter, the organization’s founding treaty, nearly 75 years since its adoption as reported by Associated Press of Pakistan.

Calling “unilateral measures” imposed on Jammu and Kashmir “a first step” in India’s efforts to suppress Muslims and claims that normalcy has been restored “false and duplicitous”, Ambassador Akram warned that India could initiate another “military adventure” against Pakistan as quoted by APP.
