India slams Pakistan at UN over terrorism support confession
Speaking at launch of Victims of Terrorism Associations Network, Deputy Permanent Representative of India in UN, Yojna Patel, said: "It is unfortunate that one particular delegation has chosen to misuse and undermine this forum to indulge in propaganda and make baseless allegations against India. The whole world has heard Pakistan's defence minister Khwaja Asif admitting and confessing Pakistan's history of supporting, training and funding terrorist organisations in a recent television interview. This open confession surprises no one and exposes Pakistan as a rogue state fuelling global terrorism and destabilising the region. The world can no longer turn a blind eye."
