Pakistan India

NEW YORK: Pakistan on Tuesday raised serious questions over India’s eligibility to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Speaking at UN General Assembly, Pakistan’s permanent representative to United Nations Munir Akram said New Delhi was in blatant violation of 15-member body’s resolutions aimed at settling the decades-old Kashmir dispute.

He said India had imposed a complete curfew and lockdown on 8 million people for over 100 days and it is perpetrating massive violations of human rights against them and against its own minority communities.

How come a violator of international laws, can become a custodian of peace in the world? he questioned.
