India has lodged a strong protest against Pakistan at the NAM summit in Margarita Island, Venezuela following the terrorist attack in Uri in Kashmir. It said that the Uri terror attack has highlighted Pakistan’s desire to use “poison” instead of dialogue as it slammed Islamabad for its “mischievous” and “malignant” support to terror.

Minister of State for External Affairs M J Akbar hit out at Pakistan, saying it has reduced itself to “pariah” status in the international community because of its hypocrisy and its blatant sponsorship of terrorism and of terrorists.
