Amid escalated tensions and belligerence between India and Pakistan after the terror attack at the Indian Army base in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, an Indian journalist was made to leave a press conference that was to be addressed by Pakistan Foreign Secretary in NY on Monday.

This was evident by the shameless audacity displayed during a press briefing by the Pakistan Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
Reportedly, no Indian journalist was allowed to attend Chaudhary’s press conference.
“Iss Indian ko nikalo (remove this Indian)”, were the words used to ask the NDTV correspondent to leave the room.
“Told “Indian ko nikalo” at #Pakistan press con #UNGA#UriAttacks”. The Indian journalist was then rudely asked to leave the room. The ministers of Pakistan have been avoiding questions on the deadly Uri attack that took place on Sunday in north Kashmir and was carried out by suspected Pakistani terror outfit, Jaish-e-Mohammed led by Masood Azhar.
According to some media reports, PM Nawaz Sharif refused to respond to a question of another Indian journalist on the recent Uri attacks resulting in the death of 18 Indian soldiers.

In a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government has made a decision to isolate Pakistan diplomatically in all worldwide forums by presenting the evidence showing the involvement of Pakistan in the Uri attack.
