Pakistan's envoy Maleeha Lodhi brought up the Kashmir issue and the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.

 

India's ambassador to the UN, Syed Akbaruddin, said that Pakistan as a country "covets the territory of others and uses terrorism as state policy towards that misguided end," reported NDTV.

 

Lodhi had called the death of Wani "extra-judicial" and described him as a "Kashmiri leader" killed by Indian forces, according to media reports.

 

"The attempt came from Pakistan, a country that covets the territory of others, a country that uses terrorism as state policy towards that misguided end, a country that extols the virtues of terrorists and that provides sanctuary to UN-designated terrorists, and a country that masquerades its efforts as support for human rights and self-determination," said Akbaruddin, according to media reports.
