India rebukes Pakistan over 'false narratives' at UN forum

India on Friday used its Right of Reply at the United Nations to firmly rebut what it termed Pakistan's 'falsehoods and deceit,' following remarks made by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the global forum. Sharif had credited U.S. President Donald Trump with a 'timely intervention' regarding the 2025 conflict while simultaneously raising the contentious Kashmir issue.

New Delhi's response focused on dismissing what it characterized as Pakistan's distorted narratives on the bilateral relationship and regional security matters. Indian officials reiterated the nation's principled stance that terrorism in all its forms would not be tolerated and would face appropriate consequences, particularly targeting cross-border militant activities.

The exchange reflects ongoing tensions between the two South Asian nations at the multilateral platform. India's statement underscored New Delhi's position that any external mediation, if pursued, must be based on ground realities and not on what the country views as unfounded claims by Islamabad.

The incident marks the latest in a series of pointed diplomatic exchanges between India and Pakistan at international forums, where both nations continue to advance competing narratives on regional security, terrorism, and disputed territories.
