New Delhi: India has expressed its "strong opposition" to the comments made by United Nations General Assembly President Volkan Bozkir on Kashmir during his visit to Pakistan. Dismissing his "unwarranted references" on Jammu and Kashmir, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in a strongly worded statement called the comments "unacceptable". The statement said, "when an incumbent President of the UN General Assembly makes misleading and prejudiced remarks, he does a great disservice to the office he occupies" adding, his "behaviour is truly regrettable and surely diminishes his standing on the global platform." India also dismissed equating of Palestine and J&K saying that there is no " basis for comparison to other global situations." During his Pakistan visit, the UNGA President equated Palestine with Jammu and Kashmir issue and said it's the "duty of Pakistan to bring this to UN Platform more strongly".
