In his speech, Ambassador Akram emphasized the denial of self-determination to Kashmiris and Palestinians and criticized India&#8217;s control over Jammu and Kashmir as a form of modern colonialism. In response, Indian delegate Nitish Birdi argued that the principle of self-determination was meant for decolonization of Non-Self-Governing Territories, not to undermine the territorial integrity of member states like India. He also accused Pakistan of involvement in terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistani delegate Naeem Sabir Khan countered by pointing out that the right to self-determination is enshrined in various international agreements and that Jammu and Kashmir is considered a disputed territory on UN maps, not an integral part of India. He also raised concerns about India&#8217;s state-sponsored terrorism and discrimination against minorities, citing an Amnesty International report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, the UN meeting saw a clash of views between Indian and Pakistani delegates regarding self-determination, the status of Jammu and Kashmir, and allegations of terrorism and discrimination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the United Nations on October 10th, Indian and Pakistani representatives engaged in a heated exchange following a speech by Pakistani Ambassador Munir Akram.
