India Delivers Strong Message at United Nations
India issued a sharp warning to Pakistan at the United Nations Security Council, stating that continued support for cross-border terrorism would carry serious consequences.
Speaking during a UNSC open debate on strengthening the UN Charter and the global international framework, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Parvathaneni Harish accused Pakistan of consistently backing extremist groups and destabilising regional peace.
Harish said India retains every sovereign right to protect its citizens and territory against terrorism and aggression.
India Accuses Pakistan of Promoting Extremism
During his address, the Indian envoy said Pakistan has followed a long-standing policy of encouraging terrorism, radicalisation and anti-India propaganda.
He stated that Islamabad’s strategy of “bleeding India by a thousand cuts” exposed the contradiction between Pakistan’s statements at international forums and its actions on the ground.
Harish also alleged that Pakistan’s repeated acts of aggression and support for terror networks violate the core principles of sovereignty, peaceful coexistence and the UN Charter itself.
“Pakistan will have to accept that there are consequences to its sponsorship of cross-border terrorism,” he said during the debate.
India Rejects Pakistan-China Remarks on Jammu and Kashmir
India’s remarks at the UN came shortly after New Delhi rejected references to Jammu and Kashmir made in a joint statement by China and Pakistan.
Responding to the issue, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh remain integral and inseparable parts of India.
He also criticised attempts to legitimise Pakistan’s control over territories connected to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), saying India has repeatedly conveyed its objections to both Beijing and Islamabad.
India Highlights Pakistan’s History of Aggression
India further reminded the global community that cross-border attacks from Pakistan began soon after Independence, when attempts were made to capture territories that had legally acceded to India.
Ambassador Harish said Pakistan must permanently abandon terrorism as a state policy and stop using extremist groups as strategic tools.
