India Slams Pak For 'Fake Narrative' On Children Of J&K

India’s Permanent Mission to the UN Paulomi Tripathi made these remarks at the General Assembly Third Committee session on ‘Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Children’ on Thursday. India slammed Pakistan for “weaving fake narratives” about children living in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the country has a “dubious distinction” of “schooling” young children in violent extremist ideologies and recruiting them in terrorist groups.

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 has 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”.Tripathi was responding to remarks made in the Committee by Pakistan’s outgoing UN envoy Maleeha Lodhi on Wednesday in which she had raked up the issue of Jammu and Kashmir and referred to the condition of children in the state in the aftermath of India revoking Article 370.

Lodhi had also alluded to reports by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

Lashing out at Pakistan, Tripathi said, “This is a country with the dubious distinction of running a system of ‘schooling’ young children in violent extremist

ideologies and recruiting them in terrorist groups, robbing not only these children of their future but also jeopardizing the future of children across the borders.
