The United Nations: India accuses Pakistan to promote “culture of violence” and use a high level UN meeting on peace culture for hatred speeches.
“We have witnessed other efforts today by the Pakistani delegation to exploit the United Nations platform for hatred speeches against India, even when it continues to trigger ‘culture of violence’ at home and throughout its borders,” Vidisha Maitra, First Secretary.
At the UN Mission India told the General Assembly on Tuesday.
“We ignore and condemn all such efforts,” he said in his speech to a high-level forum on peace culture while making passive references to Pakistani permanent representatives, Munir Akram.
Akram devoted six paragraphs from the nine paragraph speech to India and RSS and asked the General Assembly to “face the Hindutva”.
Despite the frequent speech at the UN Veer of the topic, Akram’s address is unusual because it almost fully targets organizations in member countries using creatures for it.
Without identifying Pakistan, the Maitra attracts the attention of religious-based terrorism from there, by saying “There is no doubt that terrorism, which is a manifestation of intolerance and violence, is an antithesis of all religions and cultures.
The world must be worried by terrorists who use religion to justify This action and those who support them in this search.
“He said that the United Nations and state members” refrained from selectivity to such problems that prevented the culture of peace “.
“India reaffirms its call to the application of objectivity, non-selectivity and impartiality to form the basis of discussion at the United Nations, especially in religious problems,” he said.
He remembered Swami Vivekananda’s speech in the world religious parliament in 1893 in Chicago where he emphasized the ethos of Indian civilization to accept the greatness of all religions.
He said, “India is called the state ‘unity in diversity.’ The concept of our pluralism is based on our ancient ethos about ‘Sarva Dharma Sambhav’ which means ‘respecting all religions’.
“Although the Covid-19 pandemic brings mutual humanitarian dependence, there is also” upsurge in intolerance, violence and terrorism.
” “We face a ‘infodemic’ challenge that has been responsible for the increase in hatred speech and in penetrating hatred in the community,” he said.
The World Health Organization defines infodemic “because too much information includes false or misleading information in the digital and physical environment during a disease outbreak” which causes distrust of health authorities and damages public health responses and can cause intensification or disease outbreaks.
Maitra remembered that in June, last year India along with 12 countries had sponsored a cross-regional statement about ‘infodemic’ in the context of Covid-19.
