In a strong statement highlighting Pakistan's role in supporting terrorism, India has told the United Nations Human Rights Council that Islamabad has de-listed 4000 international terrorists and continues to be a safe haven for militants. "Full-scale training camps and launchpads of terrorists are being escalated in Pakistan Occupied parts of Indian Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh at great expense for sustaining cross border terrorism against India," India's first secretary to United Nations in Geneva, Pawan Badhe said. He further said, "It's not without reason that Pakistan remains a safe harbour for terrorists. While the world is busy combatting Covid-19 pandemic, Pakistan hoodwinks the world to allow delisting more than 4000 proscribed terrorists to sustain its terror ecosystem." The comments assume significance as Pakistan plans to declare Pakistan occupied Kashmir's Gilgit Baltistan as the 5th province of the country.
