Indian external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj addressed the 71st United States General Assembly session earlier in the evening at New York.
Sushma made an emphatic statement about how some countries were sowing, growing and exporting terror. She thereby took an indirect dig at neighbours Pakistan and slammed them for sponsoring terrorism.
Here are some of the early twitter reactions from External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj's defining speech slamming Pakistan on sponsoring terrorism at United Stated General Assembly.
Congrats to EAM Sushma Swaraj for a firm, effective & fine articulation of a wide range of global issues at UNGAÂ : PM Narendra Modi

If India won't dereminedly ask for diplomatic & economic sanctions against Pak in U.N, who will? Modi Govt again failed us by meek response.
