Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Harivansh, on Thursday, exercised his right of reply against remarks made by a Pakistani delegate on the issue of Kashmir at an Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
Speaking at a 145th IPU assembly, Harivansh lambast Pakistan and said that it is unfortunate that Pakistan has once again chosen to misuse this platform to propagate false and malicious propaganda against India and distract from today’s discussion.
Deputy Chairman Rajya Sabha, who is in Rwanda, attending the 145th IPU Assembly said, “We reiterate that Pakistan must immediately cease anti-India cross-border terrorism and shut down its infrastructure of terrorism, stop human rights violations in Pakistan-occupied Jammu Kashmir (PoJK), and refrain from affecting any further material change in the status of PoJK and vacate Indian territories under its illegal occupation.”
Harivansh said in the August House in the 145th IPU Assembly that the world knows how Osama Bin Laden the face of Global terror was found in Pakistan. Pakistan leadership glorify the terrorist on the floor of the Parliament. It is ironic to see that Pakistan claim the victim of terrorism. This is the country which nurtures the terrorists in the background.
The global organization of national parliaments was founded in 1887 and has a total of 178 members. The union empowers parliaments and parliamentarians to promote peace, democracy, and sustainable development through diplomacy.
