Pakistan’s permanent representative to United Nations, Maleeha Lodhi have responded on twitter with her 9-tweet series to the allegations leveled by Indian foreign minister Sushma Swaraj in her speech at United Nations General Assembly
The Indian FM’ speech is a litany of falsehoods and baseless allegations.The biggest falsehood is that Kashmir is an integral part of India.

Kashmir is an internationally recognised dispute. It is the oldest item on the UN agenda. The whole world acknowledges this.

Another falsehood was that there are no human rights violations going on in Kashmir. India is in denial. Violations are all documented
— Maleeha Lodhi (@LodhiMaleeha) September 26, 2016
international community is aware of the barbaric actions being taken by Indain occupation forces that are a grave violation of human rights

Raising Balochistan,an internal matter, is a blatant violation of the principles of the UN charter and international norms.

For the Indian Foreign Minister to claim that her country has imposed no preconditions for talks with Pakistan is another untruth
— Maleeha Lodhi (@LodhiMaleeha) September 26, 2016
India suspended talks more than a year ago, and has refused to resume these despite repeated offers from Pakistan
— Maleeha Lodhi (@LodhiMaleeha) September 26, 2016
The latest offer of talks with India was made by Pakistan’s Prime Minister himself from the rostrum of the General Assembly on 21 September.

Her entire reference to Pakistan was a vain attempt to divert attention from the grave situation in occupied Kashmir.
