New Delhi: Union minister of labour and employment Mansukh Mandaviya on Wednesday said Pakistan has no locus standi to comment on India’s internal affairs, and it should stop abusing global forums. The minister asserted that Pakistan is engaged in acts of cross-border terrorism against Indian citizens and advised the neighbouring country to introspect.Mandaviya was presenting India’s national statement at the Plenary Session of the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, Qatar on Wednesday. He strongly objected to certain unjustified references by the President of Pakistan to India in his remarks on Tuesday. “This is an abuse of an international forum to distract the world from focusing on social development by peddling disinformation against India. We wish to set the record straight,” he asserted.On the Indus Waters Treaty, he said Pakistan has undermined its spirit through “sustained hostility and cross-border terrorism”.The Union minister noted that Pakistan has also “repeatedly misused the Treaty mechanisms to obstruct India’s legitimate projects.”With regards to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Mandaviya said Pakistan has no locus standi to comment on India’s internal affairs. “This is particularly so when it indulges in acts of cross-border terrorism against the citizens of India,” Mandaviya said.He advised Pakistan to introspect and address its serious development challenges.Due to these internal challenges, Mandaviya said Pakistan has become dependent on handouts by the international community. “It should stop abusing international forums,” Union minister Mandaviya emphasised.
