At the UN General Assembly, Petal Gahlot, representing India, delivered a bold statement, criticizing Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and urging him to take concrete measures against terrorism. Her remarks were a strong articulation of India’s opposition to cross-border terrorism. In response to the Pakistani Prime Minister’s address, First Secretary Petal Gahlot of India’s Permanent Mission to the UN stated: “The Pakistani Prime Minister has spoken about wanting peace with India. If he is indeed sincere, the pathway is clear. Pakistan must immediately shut down all terrorist camps and hand over to us the terrorists wanted in India. It is also ironic that a country which follows in hate, bigotry and intolerance should preach to this assembly on matters of faith. The political and public discourse of Pakistan reflects its true nature. Clearly, a look by them at the mirror is long overdue.”
