Indian Diplomat Laughs Off Pakistan PM's UN Claims of Victory Over Operation Sindoor

moneycontrol.com —

An Indian diplomat was seen chuckling and shaking his head as Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif addressed the UN General Assembly, recounting Pakistan's version of the 2025 military confrontation with India and claiming victory in response to India's Operation Sindoor. Sharif said Pakistan's armed forces responded with "precision and professionalism" during the May 2025 clash, claiming they "silenced the enemy" and taught it a lesson. He also credited US President Donald Trump for helping avert a wider conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. India's First Secretary Petal Gahlot rejected Pakistan's remarks, accused Islamabad of supporting cross-border terrorism, and reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is an "integral and inalienable part" of India. Sharif also warned that any attempt to divert Pakistan's Indus waters would be treated as an "act of war".
