India has fiercely criticised Pakistan at the United Nations following Defence Minister Khwaja Asif’s explosive admission that Islamabad has long supported, trained, and financed terrorist outfits. The remarks come in the wake of the devastating Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists.
Speaking at the UN, India’s Deputy Permanent Representative, Ambassador Yojna Patel, condemned the statement as a blatant validation of Pakistan’s deep-rooted role in global terrorism. “The world heard Pakistan’s defence minister openly admit to decades of backing terror groups. This isn’t shocking—it confirms Pakistan’s identity as a rogue state destabilising the region,” she declared.
Patel accused Pakistan of distorting facts and using global platforms for anti-India propaganda. Her remarks came during the launch of the Victims of Terrorism Association Network (VOTAN), an initiative focused on empowering survivors and countering terrorism through unity.
When questioned in a Sky News interview, Khwaja Asif admitted: “We’ve done this dirty work for the US, the UK, and the West for over 30 years.” Patel called this a turning point that global powers can no longer ignore.
She also expressed gratitude for the international outpouring of support after the Pahalgam tragedy, the deadliest civilian attack since the 26/11 Mumbai siege.
In retaliation, India has revoked key ties with Pakistan—suspending the Indus Water Treaty and revoking visas. Pakistan, in turn, has halted all bilateral agreements, including the historic Simla Accord.
