The rule of law, equal respect for all faiths, concepts that are alien to Pakistan and its ethos: India has lashed out against Pakistan's "juvenile propaganda to malign India through fabricated lies"
In a strong statement against Pakistan, in its Right to Reply, an Indian official Ananya Agrwal while addressing the 40th UNESCO General Conference - on General Policy Debate, also said that the Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh "have always been ours and shall always be an integral part of India and this includes the territory that is currently under the illegal and forcible occupation of Pakistan".
"We take this chair to refute Pakistan's juvenile propaganda to malign India through fabricated lies, full of deceit and deception. We condemn the unwarranted comments made by Pakistan on the judgment of the Supreme Court of India.
"The judgement is about the rule of law, equal respect for all faiths, concepts that are alien to Pakistan and its ethos, so while Pakistan's lack of comprehension is not surprising, their pathological compulsion to comment on our internal affairs with the obvious intent of spreading hatred is condemnable," the official said.
"The Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh have always been ours and shall always be an integral part of India and this includes the territory that is currently under the illegal and forcible occupation of Pakistan."
She said that Unesco's membership "is well aware of its constitution which states that the organisation is prohibited in intervening in matters that are essentially within their domestic jurisdiction."
"Sadly in flagrant violation of the UNESCO constitution, mandate and ethos, and practices, Pakistan's intervention did exactly that, and we reject it," she said.
The Indian official continued: "Tragically, the reality facing us is that Pakistan is the world's largest producer and exporter of this evil. Pakistan's political approaches are rooted in terrorist violence and its global engagement is defined by mainstreaming of terrorism as an instrument of statecraft."
She asked: "In which country were the perpetrators of 9/11 and 26/11 discovered? Where were Osama Bin Laden and Mullah Omar discovered? Which is the country where organisations such as Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Jamaat ud Dawa. Lashkar-e-Taiba, and other banned terrorist outfits openly conduct their activities, collect funds from the street and run their offices with the active support of the state machinery?"
"The Army of which country massacred millions of its own citizens just because they spoke a different language? The answer to these questions is Pakistan," she said.
"We, the UNESCO and the international community, certainly do not need Pakistan, a hub of global terrorism, to be waxing eloquent on the internal affairs of India.
"Indeed the entire, peace-loving members of UNESCO would serve humanity well by coming together to impress upon Pakistan to be a normal country and to eschew preaching, practising and propagating terrorism," she said.

Pakistan-- a DNA of terrorism, India replies over false propaganda on Kashmir at UNESCO
ANI | Updated: Nov 15, 2019 12:04 AM IST
Paris [France], Nov 15 (ANI): India on Thursday (local time) gave a befitting reply to Pakistan over its false claims and propaganda on Jammu and Kashmir, saying the cash-strapped nation itself is "a DNA of terrorism".
"Pakistan's neurotic behaviour has resulted in its decline to a nearly failed state with its weak economy, radicalised society and deep-rooted DNA of terrorism," Ananya Agarwal, who led the Indian delegation to the UNESCO General Conference being held in Paris.
"We condemn Pakistan's disappointing misuse of UNESCO to spew venom against India and politicise it," she added.
Agarwal noted that Pakistan, in 2018, ranked 14th on the fragile state index.
Pakistan is home to all shades of darkness; from extremist ideologies and darker powers of radicalisation to the darkest manifestations of terrorism, she told the panel.
Exposing Pakistan further on the grounds of spreading and breeding terrorism, Agarwal said that Pakistan is a country, whose leader uses the UN platform to openly preach nuclear war and issue a call to use arms against other nations, referring to Prime Minister Imran Khan's remarks at the UN General Assembly session in September whereby the leader had warned India that if it if there's face-off between two nuclear-armed neighbours, the consequences would be far beyond their borders.
"Would this gathering believe if I told them that one of Pakistan's former president's recently called terrorists such as Osama Bin laden and Haqqani network as Pakistan's heroes," she questioned the panel
She stated that Pakistan has been engaging into such diabolic rhetoric to malign India in front of the international community irrespective of the deplorable conditions of human rights suffered by the minority community in Pakistan. #INDIA_SLAMS_PAKISTANI_RANTING_AT_UNESCO
