Thank you Mr. Chairperson, 

Having heard the representative of Pakistan, we want to place our views on record. 

Pakistan is a country whose role as an epicenter and safe haven for terrorists needs no introduction. Not only the people of India, but our region and beyond have to daily struggle with brutalities inflicted by terrorists and ideologies emanating from Pakistan. 

However much Pakistan may covet the territory of others, may we remind them that the state of Jammu and Kashmir is, and will remain an integral part of India. 

We are aware that we will once again hear denial from Pakistan. 

We do not intend to waste the precious time of this Committee, which can be better utilized for its agenda and issues under consideration. 

I thank you
