New York, September 27 – In response to remarks made by the Indian delegations during the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Open Debate on “Peace for Leadership and at 79th UNGA Pakistan calls India out for its history of sponsoring terrorism.
At UNSC, Mr. Gul Qaiser Sarwani, Counsellor at the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the UN, delivered a strong rebuttal, addressing what he termed as “baseless and misleading” statements from Indian delegate.
Mr. Sarwani expressed his regret over India’s continued attempts to distort facts and propagate a false narrative aimed at maligning Pakistan and diverting attention from its own internal challenges and violations of international law.
Mr. Gul Qaiser Sarwani reaffirmed that Jammu and Kashmir remains an internationally recognized disputed territory and is on the UN Security Council’s agenda for over 75 years. He highlighted that the Council’s resolutions explicitly call for the final disposition of Jammu and Kashmir to be determined through a United Nations-supervised plebiscite, a decision India is bound to comply with under Article 25 of the UN Charter, he said.

The Pakistani diplomat also rejected India’s allegations of terrorism against Pakistan, terming it ironic given India’s own use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy against its neighbors. Mr. Sarwani pointed out that India is itself a state sponsor of terrorism, running what he called a “global franchise of assassination campaigns.”
Mr. Gul Qaiser said that Pakistan possesses solid evidence of India’s sponsorship of terrorist organizations like Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), both of which have carried out multiple terrorist attacks in Pakistan. He cited the arrest and conviction of Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Indian naval officer and an operative of India’s intelligence agency RAW, as irrefutable proof of India’s state-sponsored terrorism against Pakistan, including targeted assassinations.
Mr. Sarwani further noted that India’s terrorist activities have now extended globally, with recent incidents involving the assassination and attempted murder of political dissidents on North American soil.
Mr. Sarwani concluded his remarks by calling for India to end its state-sponsored terrorism, cease its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir, and fulfill its obligations under international law. He emphasized that India must be held accountable for its actions, stating that the international community can no longer afford to grant India impunity.

New York, September 28: In response to the baseless and misleading assertions made by the Indian delegate at the United Nations, Muhammad Faheem, a Third Secretary at the Pakistan Mission, delivered a firm, powerful and factual rebuttal, shedding light on India’s ongoing violations in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Mr. Faheem emphasized that India continues to distort the facts surrounding the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, with a view to deflect attention from its illegal actions and repressive measures in IIOJK. He reaffirmed that Jammu and Kashmir remains an internationally recognized disputed territory, as outlined by numerous United Nations Security Council resolutions, which call for a free and impartial plebiscite to allow the Kashmiri people to exercise their right to self-determination.
“India is obligated under Article 25 of the UN Charter to implement these resolutions, yet it continues to evade its responsibilities,” Mr. Faheem stated.
Referring to India’s illegal and unilateral actions of August 5, 2019, the Pakistani delegate pointed out that these steps have only further intensified the occupation, with nearly one million soldiers deployed to suppress the legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
“India’s brutal occupation cannot silence the truth, nor can it deny the reality through its tactics of denial, distortion, and deflection,” he said.
Muhammad Faheem also highlighted India’s heinous crimes in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), including extrajudicial killings, collective punishment, and the targeting of innocent civilians. He noted that the reports from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and over a dozen UN Special Rapporteurs have documented these violations, and yet India continues to deny access to independent observers.

In his remarks, the Pakistani delegate strongly countered India’s baseless accusations of terrorism, highlighting that India has long been involved in sponsoring terrorism against Pakistan and other nations. He cited the involvement of India’s intelligence agency in orchestrating terrorist activities, including the case of Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Indian naval officer convicted of terrorism in Pakistan.
“India’s terrorist franchise has now gone global, with recent assassinations and attempted murders of political dissidents on North American soil,” he added.
Addressing India’s reference to the events of 1971, Mr. Faheem clarified that it was an act of foreign aggression against Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. He urged India to refer to the General Assembly resolution of December 1971, which upheld Pakistan’s sovereignty.
Furthermore, Muhammad Faheem underscored the worsening human rights situation within India itself, particularly under the BJP-RSS government, which has ruled since 2014. He condemned the state-sponsored violence and Islamophobia targeting India’s Muslim population, as well as other minorities, including Christians and Dalits.
“India’s reign of terror against its minorities, including lynchings, forced conversions, and the destruction of mosques, continues unabated,” he stated.
Muhammad Faheem called on India to end its state-sponsored terrorism, cease its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir, and fulfill its obligations under international law.
“Pakistan will continue to highlight India’s state terrorism against the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and we remain committed to supporting their inalienable right to self-determination,” he affirmed.
