1. “With such a horrendous track record in democracy, the rule of law and human rights, India surely does not deserve a place on the Security Council, or in the wider law-abiding world community.”

2. “It has instigated, sponsored and abetted State terrorism in each of its neighbouring countries, including against my own country, Pakistan. At home, the Hindutva raj is unleashing the worst form of State-directed terrorism against all minorities. Under the current Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-Bharatiya Janata Party Government, India is being guided by a supremacist ideology that has masterminded Islamophobia in the political discourse. One cannot expect anything new from the purveyors of Hindutva. In today’s incredibly intolerant India, the Muslim minority of 200 million faces frequent lynching by cow vigilantes and pogroms by RSS thugs, with official complicity, discriminatory citizenship laws to expel Muslims and a concerted campaign to destroy mosques and the rich Muslim heritage of India.”

3. “India accepted that decision and is bound to comply with it, in accordance with Article 25 of the Charter of the United Nations. So much for Jammu and Kashmir being an integral part of India. Living in that alternative reality, India continues to deny its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir. Only an occupier would oppose the implementation of Security Council resolutions that promise self-determination to the people of the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir. If India had any moral courage or respect for international law, it would end its reign of terror, withdraw its troops and let the Kashmiris freely decide their future in accordance with Security Council resolutions. One can grant that India knows a lot about terrorism. It has the dubious distinction of being one of the world’s pioneers and largest purveyors of State terrorism.”

4. “My delegation would like to reply to the statement just made by the representative of India. Let us examine the points she made, beginning with the reference to Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu and Kashmir is not an integral part of India. It is a disputed territory, as evidenced by all United Nations maps and official United Nations documents. In its fourth preambular paragraph, resolution 47 (1948) notes the desire of India and Pakistan that “the question of the accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India or Pakistan should be decided through the democratic method of a free and impartial plebiscite”. That call for a plebiscite was reiterated in resolutions 91 (1951) and 122 (1957), among other resolutions of the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan, specifically its 13 August 1948 and 5 January 1949 resolutions.”
