Barely two days after calling Pakistan “terroristan”, India is all set to up the ante against its neighbour with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj likely to highlight the role of Pakistan in supporting terrorism in her address at the 72nd session of United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
Swaraj will address the UNGA at 9.30 pm India time on Saturday and is expected to focus on strengthening of counter-terrorism mechanism at international level and how Pakistan has become a safe haven for militants.

“This is a country whose counter terrorism policy is to mainstream and upstream terrorists by either providing safe havens to global terror leaders in its military town, or protecting them with political careers.”
Rubbing salt into the wounds of Pakistan, Afghanistan too backed India’s stand against Pakistan and slammed the country for supporting terrorism.
