External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj today didn't take too long to respond to Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's allegations that India had committed war crimes in Jammu and Kashmir, saying in her speech at the UN Genral Assembly that those who were listening to his address were saying, "Look who's talking."

After giving a brief apercu of the Narendra Modi government's achievements, Swaraj tore into Islamabad, saying that while India was "completely engaged" in fighting poverty, Pakistan was fighting India.

That line was the opening salvo to a withering oratory indictment of Pakistan's covert support for terrorism, which underlined the contrasts between an India that had made IITs and IIMs, and a Pakistan that had made the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Hizbul Mujahideen.

"A country that has been the world's greatest exporter of havoc, death and inhumanity became a champion of hypocrisy by preaching about humanity from this podium," she said
