India Criticizes Pakistan at the UN for Admission of Supporting Terrorism, Labels It as a 'Lawless Nation'
Fiery Rhetoric at UN: India Slams Pakistan Over Terror Sponsorship
India didn't hold back at the United Nations, unleashing a fiery verbal assault on Pakistan for openly admitting to backing terrorism. Ambassador Yojna Patel, India's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, pointed a finger at Pakistan Defense Minister Khawaja Asif for his televised admission of training and financing terror groups, as reported by NDTV.
In a stark rebuke, Patel candidly declared, "It's downright disappointing that a specific delegation would manipulate and undermine this forum to spread propaganda and hurling unfounded accusations against India."
Highlighting the gravity of the situation, Patel emphasized, "The world has caught wind of Pakistan's Defense Minister confessing and admitting Pakistan's extensive history of backing, training, and funding terror organizations. This brazen confession comes as no surprise and exposes Pakistan as a rogue nation fueling global terrorism and destabilizing the region."
Patel reiterated that the international community can no longer ignore such explicit admissions.
These comments were made amidst escalating tensions after the Pahalgam terror attack, which has further complicated India-Pakistan relations. India's firm refutation at the UN marks its continued push to make Pakistan accountable for its suspected role in stirring up terrorism in the region.
As a side note, during the televised interview, Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif was quoted saying, "We've been engaging in this dirty work for the United States (US) for around three decades... and the West, including Britain" when probed about Pakistan’s ties with terror groups. This statement was labeled a "clear confession" of Pakistan’s involvement in "supporting, training, and funding terrorist organizations" by India’s deputy UN representative, Yojna Patel [2][3]. Patel further labeled Pakistan as a "rogue state fueling global terrorism" and accused it of destabilizing the region [4][5].
This controversy unfolded following a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which India linked to Pakistan-based groups [3]. In response, India blocked Asif's Twitter account and 16 Pakistani YouTube channels [3].
