Addressing the General Assembly Third Committee session on ‘Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Children’ on Thursday, First Secretary in India’s Permanent Mission to the UN Paulomi Tripathi, without naming Pakistan, said one delegation had yet again chosen to distract the attention of the Committee with its “deceitful political propaganda by weaving fake narratives, while making unwarranted references to internal matters of my country”.

Hamid Sabi, a lawyer for the Tribunal, told the United Nations Human Rights Council that the efforts involved “hundreds of thousands of victims,” describing it as “one of the worst mass atrocities of this century.”

“Hamza bin Ladin, the high-ranking al-Qa’ida member and son of Usama bin Ladin, was killed in a United States counterterrorism operation in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region. The loss of Hamza bin Ladin not only deprives al-Qa’ida of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group. Hamza bin Ladin was responsible for planning and dealing with various terrorist groups,” the White House said in a statement from the President.

Speaking to journalist Nadeem Malik, during a talk show aired on a Pakistani private news channel Hum News, the minister said, “We have spent millions of rupees on JuD. We need to demotivate the members of the proscribed organisation and bring them down to the mainstream.”
