India to raise at UNGA Pak role in Uri attack

India is expected to raise the Uri terror attack issue at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) soon to prove Pakistan’s role in masterminding terror attacks from its soil.

By supporting a terror attack from across the Line of Control (LoC) at the Indian Army base in Uri, Pakistan may be hoping for a rise in military tension which it will then raise at the ongoing UN General Assembly to fuel a spectre of a possible military clash between two nuclear-armed neighbours.

India has been articulating how Pakistan keeps on planning terror attacks to destabilise the situation in Jammu & Kashmir and raise tensions. The latest Uri terror attack carried out by Pakistan-sponsored militants is therefore expected to be raised by the Indian delegation, led by external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, at the UNGA on September 26.

Observers feel that Pakistan may have engaged in the latest serious military provocation, hoping for retaliation by the Modi government. Islamabad’s strategy has been to constantly invite intervention by the international community by trying to frighten the world of a prospect of a nuclear war in south Asia. With the current civilian unrest in the Kashmir valley, Islamabad sees the current situation as ideally suited in a long time to carry out terror attacks from PoK across the LoC. Pakistan is also going all out to push in terrorists from across the LoC to destabilise the situation in J&K by acting in tandem with its separatist backers in the Valley.
