During the UN General Assembly, Indian diplomat Petal Gahlot delivered a sharp rebuke to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, calling on him to take action against terrorism. Her statement forcefully conveyed India’s position against cross-border terrorism. In the right of reply, First Secretary Petal Gahlot of India’s Permanent Mission to the UN said, “The Pakistani Prime Minister has spoken about wanting peace with India. If he is indeed sincere, the pathway is clear. Pakistan must immediately shut down all terrorist camps and hand over to us the terrorists wanted in India. It is also ironic that a country which follows in hate, bigotry and intolerance should preach to this assembly on matters of faith. The political and public discourse of Pakistan reflects its true nature. Clearly, a look by them at the mirror is long overdue.”
