India issues angry response over Pakistan Prime Minister’s speech to the United Nations General Assembly

India has responded angrily to a speech by Pakistan’s Prime Minister to the United Nations General Assembly, with an envoy calling the country terrorist nation.

In his speech, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi accused India of war crimes in the disputed Kashmir region and of exporting terror to Pakistan.

India addresses the United States on Saturday but used a right of reply to respond.

Relations between the nuclear-armed neighbours have worsened in recent times, mainly over Kashmir.

The two nations have fought three wars since gaining independence from Britain in 1947, two of them over the disputed territory.
