India pushed back against Pakistan's remarks on Jammu and Kashmir at the United Nations General Assembly, saying Islamabad was misusing international forums for political purposes and asserting that the Union Territory "was, is and will always remain" an integral and inalienable part of India.
Speaking at the UN General Assembly plenary on the Annual Report of the Security Council, India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, said Pakistan's references to Jammu and Kashmir had compelled India to respond and reminded Islamabad that membership of the Security Council was "a huge responsibility".
