India hits back at Pakistan after Maleeha Lodhi's lie, tells world about Lt Ummer Fayyaz

New Delhi,UPDATED: Sep 25, 2017 23:14 IST

Paolomi Tripathi, the junior-most diplomat in India's mission to the United Nations, today responded to Pakistani diplomat Maleeha Lodhi, who tried to pass off a Palestinian woman as a victim of pellet gun fire in Kashmir yesterday.

And she did her job with aplomb.

"The Permanent Repesentative of Pakistan misled this Assembly by displaying this picture to spread falsehoods about India. A fake picture to push a a completely false narrative," she said.

Tripathi wasn't done. She fought, shall we say, picture with picture - a "real picture."

"This is a real picture, of Lt Ummer Fayaz, a young officer from Jammu and Kashmir. He was brutally tortured and killed by Pakistan-supported terrorists," she said, as she held the photo up for the world to see.
