Ravindra's comment came after the representative of Pakistan at the UN expressed concern over the alleged “unjust” omission from a report of the situation of children in Jammu and Kashmir.

“Let me respond briefly in the interest of time to remarks which were, obviously, politically motivated and unfounded, made by one representative against my country. I categorically dismiss and condemn these baseless remarks with the contempt they deserve…This is nothing but another habitual attempt to divert attention from the grave violations against children that continue unabated in his own country, as highlighted in this year's Secretary General's report on children and armed conflict,” Ravindra said.
