At the United Nations, India slammed Pakistan, calling it an “evil nation” that promotes terrorism.
New York: Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, India strongly rebuked Pakistan at the United Nations, holding it accountable and publicly criticizing it.
India highlighted to the world a “blatant admission” made by Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif,
where he acknowledged that Pakistan has been training and financially supporting terrorists for decades.
India cited this admission as proof of Pakistan being a “rogue nation” that actively promotes global terrorism.
‘The world can no longer ignore this’
Speaking at the United Nations, India’s Deputy Permanent Representative, Ambassador Yojna Patel, said,
“The entire world heard Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif openly admit in a recent television interview that his country has a longstanding policy of supporting, training, and funding terrorist organizations.
This open confession comes as no surprise and exposes Pakistan as a rogue nation that fosters global terrorism and destabilizes the region.
The world can no longer turn a blind eye to this.” Ambassador Patel also accused Pakistan of misusing global platforms like the UN to spread propaganda and make baseless allegations against India.
‘We have been doing this dirty work for three decades’
Patel’s remarks came during the launch of the ‘Victims of Terrorism Association Network’ (VOTAN), aimed at providing a safe platform for terrorism victims and survivors, enabling them to contribute to peace-building efforts.
Following the Pahalgam attack, a Sky News journalist questioned Khawaja Asif about Pakistan’s role in supporting terrorist organizations.
Asif responded, “We have been doing this dirty work for the US, the West, and the UK for the past three decades.
” Patel expressed gratitude for the strong and clear international support and solidarity shown after the Pahalgam attack, calling it a reflection of the global community’s zero-tolerance approach toward terrorism.
‘Terrorism must be unequivocally condemned’
Yojna Patel added, “The Pahalgam attack resulted in the highest civilian casualties since the Mumbai terrorist attacks of November 26, 2008.
As a country that has long suffered from cross-border terrorism, India deeply understands the long-term impacts of terrorism on victims, their families, and society.
We reiterate that terrorism, in all its forms and manifestations, must be unequivocally condemned.
” Patel described the establishment of VOTAN as a crucial step toward providing a structured and safe platform for listening to and supporting victims of terrorism.
Following revelations about Pakistan’s involvement in the Pahalgam attack,
India has not only downgraded diplomatic ties with its neighbor but has also taken several other stringent measures.
India exposed Pakistan at the United Nations, citing its own Defense Minister’s admission of training and funding terrorists for decades.
India called Pakistan a ‘rogue nation’ that promotes global terrorism and urged the world to no longer ignore its actions.
