UNITED NATIONS, Aug 23 (APP): India’s UN Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj parried a question on the Kashmir dispute at a special press conference she convened at the UN Headquarters in New York on Wednesday to highlight her country’s success in landing its Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the moon.<\/p>\n
“This is not the moment for these questions,” she told a Palestinian journalist who asked whether this significant moment would lead to a settlement of the Kashmir issue in a way that the Kashmiri people exercise their right of self-determination. <\/p>\n
Kashmir was a part of the journalist’s three questions — the other were on the expansion of BRICKS and on whether India’s success in moon landing would help in its drive to secure a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.<\/p>\n
Side-steeping the questions, Ambassador Kamboj said, “Today’s the day of celebration, and we are focusing on India’s success and indeed, the success of the whole of humanity.”<\/p>\n
“But”, she added, “these questions are very valid, and I will be very happy to answer these questions on a different occasion.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
