New Delhi: India has launched a sharp diplomatic attack on Pakistan at the United Nations, accusing Islamabad of carrying a “long tainted record” of terrorism, violence and destabilising conduct in the region.
India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Parvathaneni Harish, made the remarks during a UN Security Council discussion, responding firmly to Pakistan’s attempt to raise allegations against India. New Delhi said Islamabad should first look at its own record before making political statements at global platforms.
According to reports, India accused Pakistan of not only supporting cross border terrorism, but also using force against its own people. The Indian side referred to Pakistan’s alleged military actions in civilian areas and said the country has repeatedly shown disregard for human rights and regional stability.
In a strong statement, India said Pakistan “bombs its own people” and has a history marked by violence and genocidal acts. The remarks reflected New Delhi’s hardened diplomatic position at a time when security concerns in South Asia remain sensitive.
The exchange at the UN comes amid continued tension between India and Pakistan over terrorism. Indian officials have repeatedly maintained that meaningful engagement cannot move forward while Pakistan continues to provide space and support to terror groups operating against India.
The latest statement also follows a series of strong security messages from New Delhi. Recently, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi warned Pakistan that if it continues to harbour terrorists and support anti India activities, it must decide whether it wants to remain part of geography or become part of history.
India has consistently used international forums to highlight the dangers of terrorism, arguing that countries sponsoring or sheltering terror networks cannot be treated as responsible members of the global community. At the UN, New Delhi’s message was clear: terrorism cannot be justified, normalised or hidden behind political rhetoric.
The remarks by Parvathaneni Harish underline India’s broader diplomatic strategy. Instead of merely rejecting Pakistan’s claims, India is now directly placing Islamabad’s internal record, terror links and regional conduct before the international community.
For New Delhi, the issue is not limited to bilateral rivalry. It is about global accountability. India believes that terrorism remains one of the biggest threats to peace in South Asia, and any country accused of nurturing terror infrastructure must face international scrutiny.
The UN exchange once again shows that India Pakistan ties remain deeply strained, with terrorism at the centre of the dispute. While diplomatic platforms continue to witness sharp words, India’s stand remains unchanged: talks and terror cannot go together.
