India condemns Pakistan at UN and warns terrorism will bring consequences
India used its Right of Reply at the United Nations to reject Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s remarks on Kashmir and the 2025 conflict with India. Indian diplomat Petal Gahlot accused Islamabad of deceit and cross-border terrorism, saying continued attacks would have consequences for relations and regional security.
India has criticised Pakistan’s statements at the United Nations and warned that continued terrorism would have consequences. The remarks came after Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif raised Kashmir and referred to U.S. President Donald Trump’s role in the 2025 conflict between the two countries.
India exercised its Right of Reply on Friday night, September 25, 2026. Petal Gahlot, First Secretary at India’s Permanent Mission to the UN, described Pakistan’s claims as falsehoods and accused its government of being controlled by the military. Gahlot also referred to Pakistan’s 27th Constitutional Amendment, which the source material says granted lifelong legal immunity to Chief of Defence Forces and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir.
She said repeating claims at the UN would not make them true and accused Pakistan of terrorism, deceit and duplicity. Sharif had told the UN General Assembly that Trump’s “timely intervention” had saved lives in South Asia during the 2025 conflict. In his address, he also said a fair resolution of the Kashmir issue was necessary to prevent the region from again reaching the brink of conflict.
Gahlot rejected Pakistan’s position on Kashmir, saying Jammu and Kashmir was an integral and inalienable part of India. She instead directed attention to Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, alleging killings, violence and denial of basic rights there. The source material says that region has seen protests over 12 contentious refugee seats, followed by a security crackdown and allegations of irregularities in recent legislative elections.
Gahlot said India had demonstrated in 2025 that terrorists would have nowhere to hide. She referred to Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, 2025, after the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. “Our right to defend ourselves against terrorism will be exercised,” she said.
“Continued terrorism by Pakistan will have consequences.” She also criticised Pakistan’s record on minorities and religious intolerance, rejecting what she called its claims about democratic and human rights values.
