Pakistan’s Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations, Munir Akram, made headlines during the General Assembly meeting this month with his scathing attack on India, labeling the country as a “dangerous entity.” Akram went on to accuse India of being involved in targeted and extra-judicial assassinations not only in Pakistan but also in other countries.
Quoting a report from a leading US daily, Akram stated, “The new India comes into your home and kills you.” He further elaborated on India’s alleged campaign of targeted assassinations, highlighting the government’s role in these heinous acts.
During his address to the General Assembly, Akram emphasized Pakistan’s concerns over India’s alleged state terrorism, extending beyond its borders. He referenced reports from reputable sources, including The Washington Post, which detailed India’s involvement in targeted killings in various countries.
The accusations against India have sparked international attention, with Britain’s top daily, The Guardian, also reporting on India’s alleged assassinations in Pakistan. The report cited intelligence sources claiming India’s strategic efforts to eliminate terrorists living on foreign soil.
In response to these allegations, India has denied any involvement in the targeted killings, with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar refuting claims of Indian nationals’ participation in the assassination of a designated terrorist in Canada.
The escalating tensions between India and Pakistan on the international stage have raised concerns about security and stability in the region, with both countries facing scrutiny over their actions and policies. The accusations and counter-accusations between the two nations continue to fuel diplomatic tensions and global attention.
