During a UN Security Council open debate on “Leadership for Peace,” India’s representative pivots from broad calls to reform the UN system to a forceful response to Pakistan’s remarks on Kashmir. Reaffirming that Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are “integral and inalienable” parts of India, the envoy accuses Pakistan—now a non‑permanent Council member—of obsessively using every UN platform to push a “divisive agenda” and of being a “global epi‑centre of terror.” Citing decades of Pakistan‑sponsored attacks and the April 2025 Pahalgam massacre, India defends its decision to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance until Islamabad “credibly and irrevocably” ends cross‑border terrorism, and pointedly points to Pakistan’s domestic politics—jailing a former PM, banning the ruling party, and a “constitutional coup” via the 27th amendment—as proof it cannot lecture others on the will of the people.
