India on Saturday lambasted the lack of progress at the UN for adopting a global convention on international terrorism, saying it is because of such inactions that terrorists are glorified with postage stamps.
India last week called off a meeting between External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and her Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi citing the release of postal stamps “glorifying” Kashmiri terrorist Burhan Wani by Pakistan as one of the reasons.
“Each year, for last five years, India has been arguing from this podium that lists are not enough to check terrorists and their protectors. We need to bring them to accountability through international law,” Sushma said at the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly.
