Gaddafi talks Kashmir at UN, embarrasses India

Nidhi Razdan

Maverick Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has embarrassed India at the United Nations. In his marathon speech Gaddafi raised the Kashmir issue.

"Kashmir should be an independent state, not Indian, not Pakistani. We should end this conflict. It should be a Ba'athist state between India and Pakistan," he said.

And he also opposed expanding the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to include countries like India, saying that would add more injustice and tension to the world.

"The preamble says all nations are equal whether they are small or big. Are we equal in the permanent seats? No we are not equals," Gaddafi said.

Instead of his allotted 15 minutes, Gaddafi spoke for nearly 100 minutes during which he slammed the United States and the United Nations, and described the UNSC as the terrorist council.

About an hour into his speech, Gaddafi had complained of jet lag and having to get up early for the General Assembly, but it seems the rest of the United Nations General Assembly was also fatigued by then, as more than half the seats were empty.
