At a high-stakes session of the United Nations General Assembly held in New York, India’s representative launched a scathing critique of Pakistan, accusing it of openly glorifying and promoting terrorism. The Indian speaker took the floor after Pakistan’s delegate made remarks concerning Jammu and Kashmir, using strong language to highlight the dangers of legitimizing terror in any form. India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar explicitly criticized Pakistan for being the “epicentre of global terrorism.” He highlighted incidents such as the April 2025 attack in Pahalgam which killed 26 civilians, underscoring that most major terror attacks on Indian soil could be linked back to Pakistan. Dr. Jaishankar urged the global community to apply unrelenting pressure on the entire network that supports terrorism.

India asserted that it is essential for the international community to take an uncompromising stand against terrorism. The statement received nods from several allies and was noted as one of the most direct condemnations delivered at this year’s session.
