Tensions flared at the United Nations after Pakistan's Foreign Minister once again attempted to bring up the Kashmir issue. However, India firmly countered, calling Pakistan the "global center of terrorism" and highlighting its history of supporting extremist activities.

India’s Strong Response

  • The Indian representative dismissed Pakistan’s statements, stating that the country continues to promote terrorism while attempting to shift global focus by raising Kashmir at international platforms.
  • India emphasized that Pakistan has no credibility on human rights issues, given its record of harboring terrorists and suppressing minorities.
  • It was reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, and no external interference would be tolerated.

Pakistan’s Attempt at UN

  • The Pakistani Foreign Minister tried to internationalize the Kashmir issue, alleging human rights violations.
  • The move was seen as an attempt to divert attention from Pakistan’s internal economic and security crises.

India’s Stand on Terrorism

  1. India reminded the UN that Pakistan shelters terror groups responsible for attacks in India and beyond.
  2. It urged the global community to hold Pakistan accountable for its continued support of extremist networks.
  3. India called for stronger action against cross-border terrorism, warning that international peace is threatened by states that sponsor terror.

Global Reaction

  • Several countries have backed India’s stance, acknowledging that Pakistan has been linked to terrorist networks operating in South Asia.
  • The UN has consistently emphasized that bilateral dialogue is the way forward, while rejecting Pakistan’s attempts to involve international organizations in the Kashmir dispute.
