| A speech that rattled Pak, Pak media | | Sushma at UNGA conference | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 30: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's statements before the United Nations General Assembly Saturday evening over Pakistan's sponsorship for cross-border terrorism has rattled not just the political establishment in Islamabad and military establishment at Rawalpindi, but the Pakistani biased media as well. Pakistani establishment dismissed her intervention in the UNGA as election-centric. As for the Pakistani media, it used the strongest words against Sushma swaraj. It was so rattled by her speech and plain-speaking.
Sushma Swaraj had lambasted Pakistan and accused it of being an "expert in trying to mask malevolence with verbal duplicity". Besides, she justified New Delhi's recent decision to call off the meeting with her Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi and said that the "charge of Pakistan that India is trying to sabotage the talks is a lie".
Pakistani media accused Sushma Swaraj of levelling "baseless allegations" even as India came clean on its relationship with Pakistan and reason behind the cancellation of talks. "The Indian minister (Sushma Swaraj) entirely ignored worst human rights violations by Indian forces in occupied Kashmir. On the occasion, Swaraj completely ignored ongoing atrocities in Indian-occupied-Jammu & Kashmir (IoK)," a section of Pakistani media said.
Contrarily, bulk of Pakistani media focused on Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi's rebuttal to his counterpart's statement and warned India against LoC venture. "Modi's multiplying mistakes, the growing disenchantment of India's masses and Pakistan's resolute resistance may well combine to defeat this ugly regime at India's 2019 polls," it said.
The Pakistani media further said: "While in the last UNGA session, India found an often repeated pretext in propagating jingoism against so-called Pakistan sponsored terrorism, this time the opportunity was stolen by the Pakistani PM by offer for talks. Also, in the last session of the UNGA, Pakistan's former PM Abbasi had drawn the international community's attention to the Human Rights Violations in the Kashmir Valley. However, with the coming of the UNOCHR report this June, providing fresh evidence against India's Human Rights violations in Kashmir, India used the concocted narrative of beheadings as a diversion from the real issue of human rights violations".
Not just this, the rattled Pakistani media accused India of an "agenda of isolating Pakistan globally and the emerging domestic political context". It charged New Delhi with "using some lone incident alleging India's involvement, to gain political mileage domestically ahead of next year's Lok Sabha elections" and claimed that "with little achievements to the BJP government's credit to show in the upcoming elections, anti-Pakistan rhetoric is an easy election winning agenda in Indian politics".
As a matter of fact, the Pakistani media described Swaraj Swaraj's remarks as "fiery". "The Indian minister told the world leaders that the most startling evidence of Pakistan's what she claimed 'duplicity' was the fact that Al Qaida founder Osama Bin Laden was given a 'safe haven' in the country," it said.
All this should serve to indicate that Sushma Swaraj attacked Pakistan where it hurt the most. This should be construed as India's outstanding diplomatic intervention in the UNGA. |
