Maleeha goofs up, labels Gaza photo as Kashmir’s




UN General Assembly, Pakistan's Permanent Representative Maleeha Lodhi displaying a fake picture of atrocities in Kashmir

United Nations, Sep 24 In an attempt to take on India at the UN General Assembly, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative Maleeha Lodhi goofed up while displaying a picture taken from Gaza and labelled it as the “face of Indian democracy”.

Lodhi was responding to Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s description of Pakistan as a “pre-eminent export factory for terror”.

However, the photo Lodhi displayed at the UN to show Indian “atrocities” in Jammu and Kashmir was of 17-year-old Rawya Abu Jom, who was injured when two Israeli airstrikes hit her family’s apartment in Gaza during the 2014 war.

Exercising the Right of Reply, Lodhi accused India of “crimes against humanity” and of carrying out a “campaign of brutality” in the Kashmir Valley. To prove her point, she held the photo of the girl whose face was riddled with wounds.

The photo had been featured in many photo galleries online, including by the New York Times and the Guardian.

  1. I’m intrigued to know which site platform you have been using? I’m having a few small security challenges with the latest blog regarding current sports news and I would like to find a thing far more risk-free. Are there any solutions?

  2. Are you tired of your ac repair in Dubai? Are you looking for Certified Professionals to carry out your ac repair with improved facilities and in an expert way?. Hot and humid conditions are not easy to tolerate, especially when you are not used to them. But, thanks to the air conditioners – living in such extreme settings can also become a pleasant experience, and more so if you are in Dubai.

  3. Appreciating the persistence you put into your blog and comprehensive facts you display. It is nice to come across a blogging site from time to time that is just not the same unwanted rehashed content. Awesome read! I’ve saved your site and I’m including the RSS feeds to my best couch cleaner site.

  4. I constantly read through your posts carefully. I’m also thinking about racks and equipment cabinets, perhaps you could talk about this at times. Bye bye.
