New Delhi, Oct.20: Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed today, once caused a major diplomatic embarassment to India when he supported the idea of an “independent state” for Kashmir and said that it should be a ‘Baathist state’ between India and Pakistan.
In his maiden address to the UN General Assembly in 2009, the maverick leader also mentioned India as among the countries that will be competing for a permanent seat in the Security Council while opposing the induction of big powers into the powerful body.
Gaddafi, who has rarely been a person India has been comfortable with, in his speech railed against India and Kashmir as well.
“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,” said Gaddafi, shunned internationally for much of his rule because the West accused him of terrorism.
