Tensions between India and Pakistan have spiked since New Delhi abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution.
India on Friday slammed Pakistan for making "unwarranted remarks" on Jammu and Kashmir, saying comments made by its Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in the UN Security Council are a "pavlovian response" aimed to misuse any forum and every topic to propagate false and malicious propaganda against New Delhi.
India's response came after Mr Zardari raked up the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, the abrogation of Article 370, and the recent order by the Delimitation Commission during his remarks at the Council debate.
"Pakistan representative made unwarranted remarks, which symbolises nothing but a pavlovian response aimed to misuse any forum, and every topic, to propagate false and malicious propaganda against my country," Counsellor in India's Permanent Mission to the UN Rajesh Parihar said.
India exercised the Right of Reply at the Security Council open debate on 'Maintenance of International Peace & Security - Conflict and Food Security' organised by the US, the Council President.
