1041. Undermines UN's credibility: Indian Defence Minister on Pak leading counter-terror panel
- Defence Minister has come down heavily on the United Nations for what he described as a shocking and ironic decision to appoint Pakistan as the Vice-Chair of the UN Counter-Terrorism Committee.
- In a strongly worded statement, minister said the move is akin to “making the cat guard the milk,” especially when the world knows Pakistan’s long-standing track record of sheltering and glorifying terrorists.
- Slamming the UN decision, Singh noted, “The most recent example is the appointment of Pakistan as Vice-Chair of the UN Security Council’s Counter-Terrorism Panel, a body formed after the 9/11 attacks. Everyone knows who orchestrated 9/11 and where the mastermind was found. Pakistan harboured him. This appointment seriously undermines the credibility of the UN’s counter-terrorism efforts.”
