India condemns UNGA President’s remarks on Kashmir while on visit to Pakistan
Kathmandu, May 29. India has strongly condemned the remarks of UN General Assembly (UNGA) president Volkan Bozkir, while he was on his Pakistan tour.
President Bozkir said that it was Pakistan’s duty to raise the issue of Jammu and Kashmir more firmly at the UN. He said, “I think it is the duty, especially Pakistan’s, to bring this [issue] to the United Nations platform more strongly.”
In response to his statement, Arindam Bagchi, spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs of India said that India “expressed strong opposition”.
Bagchi said, “When an incumbent President of the UN General Assembly makes misleading and prejudiced remarks, he does great disservice to the office he occupies. The PGA’s behaviour is truly regrettable and surely diminishes his standing on the global platform”. He added that his remarks were completely unacceptable.
Bozkir also said that political parties must refrain to change the status of Kashmir and must work according to the UN Security Council Resolutions.
Bozkir was also scheduled to visit India earlier this month, but his trip was cancelled due to the second wave of COVID-19.
