In a powerful rebuttal at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), India gives a strong response to Pakistan, condemning its neighbor for fostering terrorism and challenging its remarks on Kashmir. The response came after Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, made a speech calling for the reversal of India’s 2019 abrogation of Article 370 and accusing India of military expansionism. India’s reply, delivered by First Secretary Bhavika Mangalanandan, highlighted Pakistan’s global role in terrorism and emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir remains an integral part of India.
India Slams Pakistan’s Terror Ties
During her address, India gives a strong response to Pakistan, calling Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s remarks a “travesty” and stating that Pakistan’s “fingerprints are on terrorist incidents across the world.” Mangalanandan reminded the UN assembly of Pakistan’s long history of using cross-border terrorism as a tool against its neighbors, including attacks on India’s Parliament, Mumbai’s financial center, markets, and pilgrimage routes.
“This Assembly regrettably witnessed a travesty this morning. A country, run by the military, with a global reputation for terrorism, narcotics trade, and transnational crime has had the audacity to attack the world’s largest democracy,” Mangalanandan said, firmly dismissing Sharif’s claims.
She further asserted that Pakistan, which has harbored terrorists like Osama Bin Laden, has no standing to speak on issues of violence or human rights. “For such a country to speak about violence anywhere is hypocrisy at its worst,” she added.
Pakistan’s Kashmir Remarks
Earlier, Shehbaz Sharif, in his speech at the UNGA, raised the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, accusing India of increasing its military capabilities and subjugating its Muslim population. He demanded that India reverse its 2019 decision to abrogate Article 370, which had granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Sharif also claimed that India had turned away from peace by not implementing UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir, which he said mandated a plebiscite for the region’s people to exercise their right to self-determination.
“India has engaged in massive military expansion, which is essentially deployed against Pakistan,” Sharif said, while also pledging that Pakistan would respond decisively to any aggression from India.
India’s Firm Stance on Terrorism
In response, India gives a strong response to Pakistan, asserting that the country’s continued sponsorship of terrorism will “inevitably invite consequences.” Mangalanandan said that Pakistan must realize that its history of cross-border terrorism, which includes attacks not just in India but in other parts of the world, has left it with little credibility on the global stage.
“It is ridiculous that a nation that committed genocide in 1971 and relentlessly persecutes its minorities now dares to speak about intolerance and phobias. We are talking about a nation whose fingerprints are on many terrorist incidents globally,” she declared, referencing Pakistan’s past actions and its current internal strife.
India’s strong rebuttal also emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir is and will always be an integral part of India. Any attempt by Pakistan to raise the Kashmir issue in international forums, India stated, is an effort to deflect attention from its own internal challenges, including political instability and economic distress.
The Broader Geopolitical Landscape
India’s strong response to Pakistan at the UNGA is part of a broader geopolitical dynamic, where both nations have been at odds since India’s abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019. This move, which stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its special status, has been a consistent point of contention for Pakistan, leading to strained diplomatic relations between the two countries.
In his speech, Shehbaz Sharif also linked the Kashmir issue to wider global conflicts, including the war in Gaza, the Ukraine conflict, and geopolitical tensions across Africa and Asia. However, India made it clear that the issue of terrorism is central to the strained relations and that it is Pakistan’s responsibility to create an environment free of terror and hostility.
Conclusion
As India gives a strong response to Pakistan in the UN, it underscores the long-standing tensions between the two countries, particularly around the issue of Kashmir and terrorism. India’s message was clear: Pakistan’s history of cross-border terrorism, coupled with its internal governance challenges, leaves it in no position to lecture others on peace or democracy.
India’s stance remains firm that any discussions or negotiations with Pakistan must begin with an end to terrorism. With the spotlight on global security and regional tensions, India has reaffirmed its position on the international stage, emphasizing that the onus is on Pakistan to foster peace by abandoning its support for terrorism.
