India Slams Pakistan PM's UN Speech as Misleading, Cites Terrorism and Regional Tensions
Indian diplomats and former envoy Mahesh Sachdev criticized Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's UN General Assembly speech as misleading, citing Islamabad's failure to address terrorism and regional tensions. Sachdev said Sharif's portrayal of Pakistan as peace-loving contradicted its strained ties with India, Afghanistan, and Iran, and presented one-sided views on Kashmir and the Indus Waters Treaty. India's rebuttal highlighted Pakistan's sheltering of terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, and reiterated its right to self-defense. India urged the international community to recognize Pakistan's duplicity, citing human rights violations in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir and army-dominated governance. New Delhi maintains the Indus Waters Treaty remains suspended until Pakistan halts cross-border terrorism, referencing Operation Sindoor following the Pahalgam attack.
