New Delhi: India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) Syed Akbaruddin, in a scathing attack told Pakistan that there are no takers for its malware.

Slamming Pakistan for peddling false narratives on India, Akbaruddin, on Thursday spoke at the an open debate at the UN Security Council (UNSC) and asserted that it is increasingly acknowledged that the Council faces crises of identity and legitimacy, as well as relevance and performance.

“One delegation that epitomises the dark arts has, yet again, displayed its wares by peddling falsehoods earlier today. These we dismiss with disdain. My simple response to Pakistan is even though it is late, neighbour, heal thyself of your malaise. There are no takers here for your malware,” news agency ANI reported.

Akbaruddin also told Pakistan that it should heal itself of its “malaise”.

He made the comments after Pakistan’s Munir Akram spoke about Jammu and Kashmir and accused India of “false and duplicitous claims on normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir” after imposing “unilateral measures”.

The government had ended Jammu and Kashmir’s special status on August 5 and split it into two union territories – Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
