Here is my best summary:
Describing India as the “mother of terrorism” in South Asia, Pakistan on Sunday called upon the international community to ask New Delhi to halt its provocations and aggressive actions if it wants to avoid a dangerous escalation between the two countries. “India has sponsored and perpetrated terrorism and aggression against all its neighbours; creating terror groups; destabilising and blockading neighbours to do its strategic bidding and sponsoring subversion, sabotage and terrorism in various parts of Pakistan. It must halt its sponsorship of terrorist groups against Pakistan,” Lodhi said, while alleging that India is perpetrating terrorism in various parts of Pakistan. The Pakistani diplomat, referring to Swaraj’s statement on terrorism and her push for a definition of terrorism, Lodhi said that a definition should actually be given by the UN. “In that definition, we should include ‘state terrorism’. Lodhi said that Pakistan is open to resuming comprehensive dialogue with India to address all outstanding issues, especially Jammu and Kashmir. Swaraj, in her speech, said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had extended a hand of peace and friendship since assuming office but Pakistan didn’t respond in kind. She also reminded Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi that when she visited Islamabad in 2015, former PM Nawaz Sharif had decided that the dialogue between India and Pakistan shall be renewed and named “Comprehensive Bilateral Dialogue”.
