New Delhi, Sep 24 (ANI): Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi had showed pictures of Palestinian victims and tried to pass them off as ‘evidence’ of atrocities on Kashmiris. She bashed the picture in her right to reply to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s speech at the UN. Maleeha Lodhi dramatically waved pictures of a girl with pellet injuries on her face and said, "this was the face of Indian democracy", while suggesting that Kashmiris had been injured by pellet guns. Maleeha Lodhi’s claim seemed to have boomeranged on her after closer inspection. Her claim, it turns out, was a blatant lie. The picture used by Lodhi was reported by a number of media outlets as that of Rawia Abu Joma’a, a 17-year-old girl who was injured in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza city in 2014. Award winning photographer Heidi Levine had taken the picture.
