India expresses strong opposition to unwarranted references made about Indian territory of J&K by President of UNGA Volkan Bozkir

India has expressed strong opposition to the unwarranted references made with respect to the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir by the President of the United Nations General Assembly Volkan Bozkir during his recent visit to Pakistan. 

In response to media queries on the remarks, MEA Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, Volkan Bozkir's remarks that Pakistan is duty bound to raise this issue in the UN more strongly are



unacceptable. He said, nor indeed is there any basis for comparison to other global situations. 

Mr Bagchi said, when an incumbent President of the UN General Assembly makes misleading and prejudiced remarks, he does great disservice to the office he occupies. The United Nations General Assembly President's behaviour is truly regrettable and surely diminishes his standing on the global platform.
