Pakistani permanent ambassador to the United Nations, Dr Maleeha Lodhi has blamed India for ‘“violations of the ceasefire” along the LoC, saying Pakistan would effectively respond to any Indian aggression.
According to Tribune.com.pk on Wednesday, Lodhi told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday that, “daily violations of the ceasefire along the LoC by India’ are done to ‘cover up its crimes against the Kashmiri people and to divert world attention from its occupation.
“All I can say to them is: do not underestimate Pakistan’s resolve and capacity to defend itself,” Pakistan’s top diplomat said.
“Any aggression or intervention will meet a matching and effective response from our armed forces and the people of Pakistan,” Lodhi was quoted saying while participating in a debate on the annual report of UN Secretary-General on the work of the organisation.
