Indian diplomats have repeatedly mentioned Pakistan's 'baseless and deceitful narratives' regarding Kashmir.

India has yet again slammed Pakistan at United Nations for raking Kashmir. Pakistan's permanent representative to United Nation Maleeha Lodhi raised Kashmir on Thursday during a discussion on "Report of the Security Council for 2018" saying Security Council has failed to implement its own resolutions on Kashmir.

Indian Diplomat Sandeep Kumar Bayyapu while giving out the country statement in the debate said, "There has been yet another attempt by one delegation to misuse this forum to spread baseless and deceitful narratives about my country."

Calling Islamabad's attempts unsuccessful, the first secretary at the Indian mission in UN Bayyapu said, "truth is that the delegation represents a geographical space that is now widely known as the hub of terrorism that has jeopardized innocent lives in our region and beyond."

Earlier in the week Pakistan and India clashed at United Nations Human rights council were Pakistani foreign minister SM Qureshi called New Delhi's decision to revoke special status for Jammu and Kashmir as illegal.

The Indian delegation led by Secretary east Vijay Thakur Singh called the decision as a sovereign one taken by the Indian parliament and slammed Islamabad for interfering in India's internal matter. India has also highlighted the plight of minorities in the country.

Both Indian Prime Minister Modi and Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan will be heading to New York by the end of the month for the 74th session of the UN General Assembly. Both will be speaking on 27th September. This will be the 2nd time PM Modi will be addressing UNGA since 2014.
