The reply given by Sneha Dubey, a First Secretary in India's UN Mission, to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's misinformation over Kashmir in the UN General Assembly (UNGA), has become the talk of the Twitterverse.

Following the Pakistan PM Imran's address, India claimed that Khan is misusing the international platform by bringing up matters of India's internal interest, which was not necessary.

Dubey in her speech said, "The Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were, are, and will remain an integral and inseparable part of India. This includes those areas which are under illegal occupation of Pakistan. We call upon Pakistan to immediately vacate all areas under its illegal occupation.

"Member countries are aware that Pakistan has a history of harboring, aiding, and actively supporting terrorists. It is a country that has been recognized globally as a state policy of supporting, training, financing, and arming terrorists. Along with this, Pakistan also holds the outrageous record of hosting the largest number of terrorists banned by the United Nations Security Council".
