'Feed your people first': India's savage response at Pak over criticism of G20 meet in Srinagar

Srinagar, May 24: Pakistan is leaving no stone unturned to criticism at the G20 meet in Srinagar, Jammu, and Kashmir. However, the neighboring country is witnessing embarrassment as the G20 meet so far has been successful with delegates from several countries including from OIC member states participating in the event.

This came after Manoj Sinha, Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, was asked a question by a foreign journalist on Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto saying India was "abusing" the G20 presidency with Kashmir meet.

 

 

 

Responding to this, Manoj Sinha, addressing a press conference asked Pakistan to focus on its people and their needs and said that the U.T. is normal and ready to host more tourists from across the world. "I think our neighbour should arrange food and other essentials for its people first. India has moved ahead from these things".

 

Further, he also said, "G20 presidency is a matter of pride for us. The presence of UN representatives here indicates that the world wants India to host such event.

He further noted that the ongoing working group meeting currently taking place in the region boasts the highest attendance to date. A total of 59 delegates from 27 countries are actively participating in the working group meeting.
