We produce doctors, engineers, you produce terrorists: Sushma slams Pak at UNGA

New York: Addressing the 72^nd United Nations General Assembly in New York on Saturday, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj slammed Pakistan for producing terrorists and supporting terrorist outfits like JeM and LeT.

This is Swaraj’s third such address on the international platform. She began her address in Hindi just like last year.

Here are the highlights:

• Swaraj on Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism, says "If we cannot agree to define our enemy, how can we fight together?"
• On the menace of terrorism, Swaraj stresses that we must all introspect and ask ourselves whether our talk is anywhere close to the action we take.
• IIT vs LeT, IIM vs JeM, AIIMS vs HM: Swaraj shows mirror to Pakistan and highlights the glaring difference between India and Pakistan.
• PM Narendra Modi has offered the hand of peace and friendship. Pakistan’s Prime Minister must answer why his nation spurned this offer, says Swaraj.
• Swaraj on the various Modi government's scheme, says "India displayed courage and leadership to take tough decisions which have launched interlinked process of sustainable development".
• EAM spells out concerns like terrorism, climate change, maritime security, unemployment, gender empowerment, nuclear proliferation and cyber security.
• "Our contemporary world is trapped in a deluge of troubles of which, surely, the most dangerous is the relentless rise of violence", says Swaraj.
• Swaraj admires and supports the determination of new Secretary-General to prepare and strengthen UN to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
