Criticizing Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for glorifying slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani and raising the Kashmir issue at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Wednesday, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Indresh Kumar asserted on Thursday that Islamabad neither has humanity nor the quality of a good neighbor.
"By Nawaz Sharif's speech, they(Pakistan) have shown they love terrorist and hate men and human values, but everyone knows the truth," Kumar told ANI
"When Pakistan suffered a terror attack, then India offered sympathy and also aided them.India is a humanitarian country and here only humanity is abducted and crushed. Pakistan awards terrorist and there is no space for humanity there," he added.
Addressing the 71st session of the UNGA, Sharif said, "Burhan Wani the young leader murdered by Indian forces, has emerged as the symbol of the latest Kashmiri Intifada, a popular and peaceful freedom movement, led by Kashmiris."
Insisting that peace and normalization between Pakistan and India cannot be achieved without a resolution of the Kashmir dispute,
Sharif made a number of allegations with regard to the unrest in the Kashmir Valley.
India has blamed Pakistan for engineering and fuelling the unrest.
Prime Minister Sharif also extended support to the demand of the Kashmiri people for self determination and called on the UN Security Council to hold a free and fair plebiscite.
"The Security Council has called for the exercise of the right to self- determination by the people of Jammu and Kashmir through a free and fair plebiscite held under the UN auspices. The Security Council must honor its commitments by implementing its own decisions," he said.
He further demanded an independent inquiry and a UN fact finding mission to investigate the situation in Kashmir.
Sharif claimed that he had "gone the extra mile to achieve this, repeatedly offering a dialogue to address all outstanding issues, but India has posed unacceptable preconditions to engage in a dialogue".
