Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Friday as people protested outside against the lockdown in occupied Kashmir.

Modi, in his address in Hindi, told world leaders that India’s “voice against terrorism to alert the world about its evil rings with seriousness and outrage”.

"For the sake of humanity, it is imperative that the world unites against terrorism," he said, according to The Hindu. "The face of the world is changing, modern technology is bring about sweeping changes in different spheres of life. In such a situation, a fragmented world is in the interest of no one."

"Terror is not an issue pertaining to one country, but a challenge faced by the entire world," he added. "A world that is divided by terror is opposing the principles on which UN was founded."

As expected, the Indian premier avoided any mention of New Delhi’s crackdown in occupied Kashmir or of Pakistan.

According to Hindustan Times, this is the first time that Pakistan has not been mentioned in an Indian address — by the prime minister or the external affairs minister — in the General Assembly address in eight years. The only time India omitted Pakistan from its speech in the last decade was in 2011, added the publication.

Outside the UN, people from the Muslim, Sikh and other communities gathered to protest India's continued lockdown in occupied Kashmir, which was imposed on August 5 ahead of New Delhi's unilateral move to annex occupied Jammu & Kashmir.

Last Saturday, Modi arrived in Houston to attend a rally, titled “Howdy Modi” — a Texan cliché — at which President Donald Trump, too, made an appearance.

Pakistanis, Kashmiris and Sikhs living in the United States had converged on Houston to express their indignation with the Indian prime minister over the scrapping of occupied Kashmir’s special status and excesses committed by Delhi’s law enforcement agencies against minorities.

This "Terror" narrative is so 2000.

People see through it now.

US has used, abused and thrown it away.

India needs to come up with something better to legitimize their illegal occupation in Kashmir, rape and murder in Kashmir.
 
A little late, but welcome to the club Mr. Modi, Pakistan has already been fighting terror long before your reign. If you're sincere about your words than India needs to give Kashmiris the right to self-determination.
 
What is the hindi term for terrorism? It was coined by the US political experts decades ago, but as Modi can't speak English, how is he addressing this in his own language to relate it to home?
 
So says a man who fielded terror accused Pragya Thakur in Bhopal Lok Sabha Seat which she ended up winning. What a fraud.
 
How this villager got into such a position of power to talk to the world like this is p amazing.
 
This crying about terrorism all the time by India is now so boring. The world knows that if you starve 8 million people in IoK and cause terrorism amongst your neighbours then there will be a violent reaction. You can call it whatever you want. With the internet we can all see how RSS thugs are supporting terrorism even in their own country. No one is buying this Indian drivel and victim mentality anymore.
