A day after Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Maleeha Lodhi, attempted to pass off the photo of a Palestinian victim as ‘evidence of atrocities’ on Kashmiris, Indian diplomat Paulomi Tripathi, called out the act as an effort ‘to divert attention from Pakistan’s role as the hub of global terrorism.’
Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, Tripathi said that Pakistan attempted to do so by ‘callously’ waving an incorrect photo of the Palestinian girl.
“Pakistan misled the assembly by displaying the picture to spread falsehood about India. They used a fake picture to push a completely false narrative,” she said.
Tripathi then responded to Pakistan’s ‘photo statement’ with a picture of Lt Ummer Fayaz, who was killed by militants in May earlier this year, when he was off-duty to attend a wedding in his family.
“We are constrained to show a photo that reflects real picture of pain inflicted by nefarious designs of Pakistan on India. This is a real picture, of Lt Ummer Fayaz, a young officer from Jammu and Kashmir. He was brutally tortured and killed by Pakistan supported terrorists. This is the reality that Permanent Rep. of Pakistan (Maleeha Lodhi) sought to obfuscate,” she added.
