At the United Nations, Pakistan once again attempted to internationalize the Kashmir issue, prompting a sharp response from India. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, firmly rejected Pakistan’s statements, calling them baseless and misleading.
India’s Firm Stand on Jammu & Kashmir
Ambassador Harish reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and always will be. He also stated that Pakistan is illegally occupying certain parts of the region, commonly referred to as Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), and must immediately vacate these areas.
“Pakistan has always made false claims regarding Jammu and Kashmir,” Harish asserted during the session.
Pakistan's Comments Deemed Inappropriate
India's strong statement came after Pakistan’s representative made inappropriate remarks concerning Jammu and Kashmir. In response, Ambassador Harish emphasized that repeating falsehoods neither strengthens illegal claims nor legitimizes cross-border terrorism.

India advised Pakistan not to use the United Nations forum to push what it called a narrow and divisive agenda. Harish suggested that Pakistan focus on resolving its internal challenges rather than deflecting international attention.
“We advise Pakistan not to divert the attention of this forum to pursue its divisive objectives,” Harish said.
