India Blasts Pakistan at UN, Accuses Islamabad of Supporting Terrorism
United Nations, December 16, 2025 – India’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Harish Parvathaneni, delivered a scathing rebuke to Pakistan at the UN Security Council on Monday, accusing the nation of promoting a divisive agenda and supporting terrorism against India.
During an open debate on ‘Leadership for Peace’, Pakistan’s Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad raised the issues of Jammu and Kashmir and the Indus Waters Treaty. Ambassador Parvathaneni responded sharply, asserting that Pakistan’s obsession with harming India was evident in its constant raising of these issues at the UN.
“India will counter Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in all its forms and manifestations with all its might,” declared Ambassador Parvathaneni.
He also criticized Pakistan’s internal policies, pointing to the imprisonment of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the recent constitutional amendment granting lifetime immunity from prosecution to the Chief of Defence Forces. “Pakistan, of course, has a unique way of respecting the will of its people,” he quipped.
Ambassador Parvathaneni reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are integral and inalienable parts of India. Regarding the Indus Waters Treaty, he stated that India had entered into it in good faith but that Pakistan had repeatedly violated its spirit through acts of aggression and support for terrorism.
“In the last four decades, tens of thousands of Indian lives have been lost in Pakistan-sponsored terror attacks,” he said, citing the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025. As a result, India has announced that the treaty will be held in abeyance until Pakistan credibly ends its support for terrorism.
