On June 5, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stated that Pakistan needs to introspect on the number of terror bases in its territory rather than dismissing UN report, reports Economic Times. Urging the Foreign Ministry of Pakistan to recall 2019 statement of Prime Minister Imran Khan that Pakistan still hosts 30,000 to 40,000 terrorists, Indian MEA spokesman Anurag Srivastava stated, “Instead of casting aspersions on the Report, Pakistan should introspect and put an end to any kind of support for terrorism emanating from territories under its control. The UN and the international community is well acquainted with the reality that Pakistan is the nerve center of terrorism. It houses one of the largest numbers of UN designated terrorists and terrorist entities. Its fallacious attempts to point fingers at others cannot deflect attention from the facts on the ground.” According to The Livemint, this statement was issued by India in response to June 4 statement of Foreign Ministry of Pakistan who rejecting the UN Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team Report claimed that India was trying to “create complications for the Afghan peace process” by “sponsoring terrorist organizations in Afghanistan”.
