Pakistan Wednesday told a UN Security Council Arria-Formula meeting that India was \u201cactively\u201d sponsoring terrorism against it, but warned that Islamabad would continue to counter those terrorist threats effectively.<\/p>\n
Speaking in a debate on \u2018Threats to International Peace and Security caused by Transnational Activities of Terrorist Groups\u2019, Pakistani delegate Muhammad Jawad Ajmal said that the \u201ccountry concerned\u201d \u2014 without naming India \u2014 had also politicized all international forums at the multilateral level to carry out a \u201cvenomous and malicious campaign\u201d against its adversaries.<\/p>\n
The Council\u2019s Arria-Formula meeting was convened by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Kenya. The format is named after a former Venezuelan Ambassador to the UN, Diego Arriva. It is a consultation process which affords members of the Security Council the opportunity to hear persons in an informal setting.<\/p>\n
Pakistan, he said, was one of the biggest victims of terrorism, having sacrificed more than 80,000 lives and sustained enormous damage to fight and defeat the scourge.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet there be no doubt that we will continue to effectively counter these attempts as we have done in the past,\u201d Ajmal, a first secretary at the Pakistan Mission to the UN, told the meeting.<\/p>\n
He said the \u201csame country\u201d had no regard for human life, suffering and fundamental freedoms.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith its 900,000 troops stationed in the largest prisons of the world, terrorizing innocent women and children, vulnerable people in the illegally occupied territories of Jammu and Kashmir this august gathering should have no doubt about this country\u2019s ill-will, propaganda machinery and hate inspired ideology that poses a threat to my country and the region,\u201d the Pakistani delegate added.<\/p>\n
Pakistan, he added, will continue to work closely with the international community to address the global threats arising out of terrorism and transnational activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must carry out the necessary reform in the existing global counter-terrorism architecture for enhancing its effectiveness by encompassing the entire array of individuals and entities involved in terrorist activity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
