In a blistering response at the United Nations, India has exposed Pakistan's fragile military stance and its persistent use of terrorism as a state tool. India's Permanent Representative, Parvathaneni Harish, dismantled the narrative presented by the Pakistani representative, revealing. A sequence of events that showed Pakistan's desperation following a decisive Indian military operation. The statement highlighted a significant shift in India's strategic posture on the global stage.
From Aggression to Desperation
This revelation serves as a stark reminder of the ground reality that often contradicts Pakistan's public posturing. Harish emphasized that the country which was threatening war one day was begging for peace the next, following the impact of Indian counter-measures. This shift underscores the effectiveness of India's proactive defense policy and its refusal to be intimidated by cross-border provocations.
Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish detailed an incident from May last year, involving what was referred to as 'Operation Sindoor', while he noted that until May 9, Pakistan was issuing open threats of launching further attacks against India. However, the situation took a dramatic turn within 24 hours. By May 10, the Pakistani military was reportedly making direct calls to the Indian Army, pleading for a cessation of hostilities.
Evidence of Military Damage
To back India's claims, the Ambassador pointed towards the extensive damage caused to Pakistani military infrastructure. He mentioned that several Pakistani airbases suffered significant hits during the operations. Evidence of damaged runways and charred hangars is available in the. Public domain, contradicting any claims of minimal impact by the Pakistani side.
Harish took a sharp dig at Pakistan's mention of a 'new normal'. He asserted that terrorism can never be normalized, no matter how much Pakistan attempts to integrate it into its state policy. He stated that the international community shouldn't allow the UN to be used as a platform to legitimize terrorism, while india's message was clear: the era of tolerating state-sponsored terror under the guise of diplomacy is over.
The Indus Water Treaty Stand
The discourse also touched upon the long-standing Indus Water Treaty, while india reminded the UN that this treaty was signed 65 years ago in a spirit of goodwill and friendship. However, over the decades, Pakistan has violated this spirit by initiating three wars and sponsoring thousands of terrorist attacks against India, while the loss of thousands of Indian lives due to Pakistan-sponsored terror has forced India to rethink its commitment to the treaty.
India has officially declared that the treaty will remain suspended until Pakistan takes credible, verifiable, and irreversible action against cross-border terrorism. This move signals a major shift in India's hydro-diplomacy, linking regional cooperation directly to the cessation of hostile activities. For Pakistan, this poses a severe challenge to its water security and economic stability.
Constitutional Crisis and Internal Affairs
Addressing Pakistan's comments on Jammu and Kashmir, India reiterated that the Union Territory is an integral and inseparable part of India. Harish advised Pakistan to focus on its own internal governance rather than interfering in India's domestic matters. He questioned the legitimacy of Pakistan's 27th constitutional amendment, which he described as a 'constitutional coup' that granted lifelong immunity to its defense chiefs.
The Indian representative concluded by urging Pakistan to introspect on its own rule of law and the dominance of its military over democratic institutions, while the session ended with a firm message that India will continue to protect its sovereignty and will no longer entertain Pakistan's attempts to use international forums for spreading misinformation.
