SEPT 24 (DNA) – India is the mother of terrorism in South Asia, the Pakistan’s permanent ambassador to the United Nations told world leaders, highlighting the Modi government’s continued ceaseifire violations and fuelling insurgency in the country.

Maleeha Lodhi remarked in response to the terrorism allegations made by India against Pakistan at the 72nd United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session in New York on Saturday.

Lodhi said Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj’s comment betrayed the hostility New Delhi had against Islamabad. “Hostility that Pakistan endured for 70 long years,” she said, adding, “Repeating falsehood a year after year cannot conceal the truth.”
