India has strongly criticized the statements made by Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Kashmir and Indus Water Treaty at the United Nations General Assembly. On Friday (26 September), India accused Pakistan of promoting terrorism.
India’s representative Petal Gehlot said in his reply, “His Majesty President, the dramatics showed by the Prime Minister of Pakistan in this meeting this morning, re -reveals the importance of terrorism in his foreign policy, but the truth cannot be hidden from any drama or lie.”
Gehlot also reminded that Pakistan had defended a ‘Pakistani sponsored terrorist organization’ in terms of massacre at the tourist destinations in Jammu and Kashmir earlier this year. He said, ‘This is Pakistan who saved this terrorist organization in the Security Council on 25 April 2025 from its actions.’
What else did India’s representative say?
The representative of India also cited the record of giving protection to the extremists of Pakistan. He said, ‘A country that has been sponsoring and exporting terrorism for a long time, now does not hesitate to make the most ridiculous statements. He hid Osama bin Laden for a decade, while showing a partnership in the fight against terrorism. Its ministers have recently admitted that they have been running a terrorist camp for decades. It is no wonder that this double game is now going on to the Prime Minister level.
Sharif again raises the issue of Kashmir
Like Pakistan, Sharif raised the Kashmir issue in his address. He said, ‘I want to assure the Kashmiris that I am standing with them, Pakistan stands with them, and one day India’s atrocities will end in Kashmir.’ He said that Pakistan is in favor of the ‘Fundamental Rights of Self-Nillion’ of Kashmiris and this process should be done through a fair referendum in the control of the United Nations.
Sharif also claimed that Pakistan condemns ‘all types and forms’ of terrorism and accused the foreign-backed groups of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and Balochistan Liberation Army of targeting against their country. He said, ‘There should be no place for hatred, discrimination or violence against any person or religion.’ India rejected these statements as an attempt to hide Pakistan’s role in promoting the cross -border terrorism.
Pakistan’s allegations on Indus Water Treaty
Sharif accused India of violating the Indus Water Treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack in April. He said, ‘Any violation of this treaty for us is like war.’
India suspended its participation in this World Bank-Treaty signed in 1960, when 26 civilians were killed in the Pahalgam attack. New Delhi, linking this step to Pakistan’s pro -terrorism attitude, has said that the treaty will be restored only when Pakistan takes concrete and verification steps to end the cross -border violence.
