India strongly rebutted Pakistan at the United Nations, dismissing what it called a false narrative on Operation Sindoor and asserting that Islamabad has no locus standi to comment on India’s internal matters, including Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing the UN Security Council, India’s Permanent Representative P Harish said terrorism can never be normalised and accused Pakistan of using it as an instrument of state policy. He rejected Pakistan’s claims on Operation Sindoor, launched in May last year against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir after the Pahalgam attack, noting that the Security Council itself had condemned the attack and called for accountability.
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN said Operation Sindoor was a restrained and responsible strike aimed only at dismantling terrorist infrastructure, noting that Pakistan sought a halt on May 10 after issuing threats until May 9.
He dismissed Pakistan’s remarks on Jammu and Kashmir, stating it has no locus standi and reaffirming the region as an integral part of India. On the Indus Waters Treaty, P Harish said India acted in good faith for 65 years but suspended the pact after the Pahalgam attack, urging Pakistan to end cross-border terrorism and reflect on its own rule-of-law record.
