The most-wanted terrorists of the world have found succour and sustenance in Pakistan, said India's permanent representative to the United Nations at the 34th session of UN Human Rights Council session in Geneva.
ndia today slammed Pakistan for abetting cross-border terrorism at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva.
Ajit Kumar, India's ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations, said, "The fundamental reason for disturbances in parts of Jammu and Kashmir is cross-border terrorism aided and abetted by Pakistan".
Kumar said that Pakistan built terror outfits to target India but the same are now "devouring their own creator".
Pakistan's law minister Zahid Hamid was earlier quoted by Firstpost as saying that India's claim on the deteriorating human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir being an internal matter "is factually incorrect and legally untenable".
"Equally false is the Indian narrative that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is about terrorism," the Pakistan minister said.

WHAT INDIA SAID AND HOW IT DEBUNKED PAKISTAN'S THEORY:
- Members will recognise the irony of a nation that has established a well-earned reputation of being a global epicentre of terrorism.
- Terrorism is the grossest violation of human rights. For the last two decades, the most-wanted terrorists of the world have found succour and sustenance in Pakistan.
- The fundamental reason for disturbances in parts of Jammu and Kashmir is cross-border terrorism aided and abetted by Pakistan.
- For many years now, Pakistan carried out an intense campaign to destabilise the situation in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir by promoting infiltration and cross-border terrorism; inciting, promoting and glorifying violence and unrest in the Indian state; and raking up the matter through baseless allegations.
- Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and the situation there is our internal matter. The Central government and democratically-elected state government have led a system-wide effort last year to restore normalcy in the state in the wake of Pakistan-supported violent unrest.
- The robust and mature Indian democracy proved once again that it has sufficiently strong and adequate mechanisms to redress any internal difficulties even if they are incited from outside. Normalcy has returned as 99 per cent of the students of Jammu and Kashmir have taken their high school examinations and schools have reopened.
- I would also like to point out that Pakistan's unwarranted references to United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions are grossly misleading as Pakistan was required to vacate the parts of the state of Jammu and Kashmir under its illegal and forced occupation.
- Pakistan has created terrorist outfits against India. This monster is now devouring its own creator.
- As the world's largest democracy with a high degree of diversity, India remains committed to the idea of a just and equitable society.
