At UN, India shows Pak’s ‘true picture’

United Nations, September 25

India hit out at Pakistan saying it callously exploited the picture of an injured Palestinian girl to spread falsehoods about India and to divert attention from Islamabad’s role as a global terror hub.

Paulomi Tripathi, a First Secretary in India’s UN Mission, on Monday held up  the fake picture used by Pakistani Permanent Representative Maleeha Lodhi and the photograph of Lt Umar Faiyaz, a young soldier from Kashmir who was kidnapped, tortured and killed by terrorists.

Poinitng to Faiyaz’s picture, Tripathi said: “This is Lt Umar Faiyaz’s real picture, not fake. The officer from Jammu and Kashmir was brutally tortured and killed by Pakistan-supported terrorists in May 2017.” 

“This is a true picture. It portrays a harsh reality. A picture of terror emanating from across our borders that the people of India, especially in J&K, have to struggle with daily,” Tripathi said. — IANS
