Diplomatic Win for India as UNSC Refuses to Recognise Pakistan’s Statement which Exposed its ‘Five Big Lies’

New Delhi: In a diplomatic win for India, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), on Wednesday, refused to recognise a purported statement made by Pakistan, in which that country had cried foul of being a ‘victim of cross-border terrorism’.

The statement was put out by Pakistan’s Mission to the UN and claimed that Al Qaeda was wiped out from the subcontinent, besides other such remarks. India had denounced the statement by calling it ‘five big lies’ and questioned how and where the statement was made, given that the council was not open to non-members at the time of the said statement.

“At India’s request, we got a clarification from Indonesia that Pakistan’s statement will not go on record,” a source was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. Indonesia is the current president of the UNSC.

The statement put out by Pakistan’s Mission on its Twitter handle, pretended that it was delivered at the UNSC, even though its ambassador did not speak at the session on terrorism.

‘Where exactly did the Permanent Representative of Pakistan make his statement?’

“We have seen a statement put out by the Pakistan Mission to the UN, claiming that these remarks were made by the Permanent Representative of Pakistan at the UN Security Council. We fail to comprehend where exactly did the Permanent Representative of Pakistan make his statement since the Security Council Session today was not open to non-members of the Security Council”, Indian mission said in response to the action.

Busting the five ‘big lies’, India had listed how Pakistan has been fueling cross-border terrorism in India. While substantiating its claim that Pakistan’s claims regarding decimation of Al Qaeda were false, India said that it was not long ago that Osama bin Laden was found staying in the Abottabad compound in that country.
