Addressing the 71st UN General Assembly (UNGA) session, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday gave a befitting reply to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s rant on Kashmir, earlier at the UN. Taking a jibe at Pakistan, Swaraj said those accusing others of rights violations must introspect as it censured Pakistan for the first time at the UNGA for perpetrating the “worst form of state oppression” in Balochistan.

Deeply disappointed by EAM Sushma Swaraj’s address in UN. Even steered shy of calling Pak a ‘terror state’. Strategic ambiguity writ large!

asserted in her nearly 20-minute speech.
