India hits back at Pakistan PM's UNGA remarks, cites Osama bin Laden
India sharply rebutted Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's UNGA speech on Saturday, accusing Islamabad of promoting terrorism and making false claims. New Delhi warned that continued cross-border terrorism would have consequences and asserted its right to self-defence. India's First Secretary Petal Gehlot cited Osama bin Laden's residence near Pakistan's military academy, questioned Pakistan's democratic credentials, and referenced the 27th Constitutional Amendment granting immunity to Army Chief Asim Munir. She rejected Pakistan's Kashmir references, calling the region an integral part of India. Gehlot also highlighted protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and urged discussion of PoK, while warning that sustained terrorism could damage bilateral relations built on friendship and goodwill.
