India has issued a strongly-worded response to Pakistan's"juvenile" propaganda over the Supreme Court's verdict on the Ayodhya land dispute and the bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir into union territories,saying the "fabricated lies" were interference with its internal affairs.

"Mr President... we take this chair to refutePakistan's juvenile propaganda to malign India through fabricated lies, full ofdeceit and deception. We condemn the unwarranted comments made by Pakistan onthe judgment made by the Supreme Court of India. The judgment is about the ruleof law, equal respect for all faiths, concepts that are alien to Pakistan andits ethos," an Indian official said while addressing the 40th UNESCOGeneral Conference - General Policy Debate in Paris on Wednesday.

"So, while Pakistan's lack of comprehension is notsurprising, their pathological compulsion to comment on our internal affairswith the obvious interest of spreading hatred is condemnable. Pakistan'sintervention is interference in India's internal affairs. It is unacceptableand rejected," she added.

India's remarks came after Pakistan Education MinisterShafqat Mahmood expressed his dismay at the top court's verdict on the Ayodhyaland dispute case; he claimed it was not in line with the United NationsEducational Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) values of religiousfreedom.

Mr Mahmood also called on the international community take"take note of this injustice".

The Indian delegation countered Mr Mahmood's claim by sayingthe most important fundamental right was that to life and, globally, the singlelargest threat to that right was from terrorism.

"Tragically, the reality facing us is that Pakistan isthe world's largest producer and exporter of this evil. Pakistan's politicalapproaches are rooted in terrorist violence and its global engagement isdefined by mainstreaming of terrorism as an instrument of statecraft," shesaid.

India also responded to the Pakistan side's claims on theKashmir issue, insisting that the newly-created Union Territories would"always be an integral part of India".

"The Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakhhave always been ours and shall always be an integral part of India and thisincludes the territory that is currently under the illegal and forcibleoccupation of Pakistan," she said.
