India disparagingly referred to Pakistan as a “broken record” after Islamabad’s envoy raked up the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in the United Nations General Assembly.
Responding to comments made by Pakistan’s Ambassador Munir Akram during the UNGA’s plenary meeting on Friday, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj said the neighbouring nations remained "sadly stagnant" with a limited and misguided perspective.
"One final point concerns a delegation (and its remarks) that, much like a broken record, remains sadly stagnant while the world progresses," Kamboj said.
Akram referenced the consecration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya as well as the recent implementation of CAA, which will grant Indian nationality to persecuted non-Muslim migrants -- Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Christians -- from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.
The Indian envoy's remarks were made while delivering a statement explaining India's position on a resolution on 'Measures to combat Islamophobia' at the UNGA. India had abstained from voting.
