India launched a sharp attack on Pakistan at the United Nations, describing it as a “Frankenstein state” that is now being troubled by the very extremist forces it helped create. Responding to remarks by Pakistan and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) during a UN Human Rights Council discussion, India rejected all allegations against it and reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country.
Speaking on behalf of India, First Secretary Anupama Singh accused Pakistan of using terrorism as a state policy and alleged that its own defence minister had publicly acknowledged hosting, training and deploying terrorists. She said Pakistan cannot portray itself as a victim of terrorism while simultaneously supporting extremist groups.
India also dismissed OIC references to Jammu and Kashmir, asserting that the only unresolved issue is Pakistan’s illegal occupation of Indian territories. Singh further criticised Pakistan’s human rights record, saying demands for basic rights and dignity are often met with repression.
On the Indus Waters Treaty, India said the agreement has become outdated and cannot remain frozen in time despite changing realities. Referring to the suspension of the treaty following the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, India argued that cooperation cannot continue unchanged when cross-border terrorism persists.
The remarks mark another escalation in diplomatic tensions between the two neighbours, with India urging Pakistan to focus on addressing its internal challenges rather than making claims on Indian territory.
