Every time Pakistan gets a mic at the UN, you can almost predict what’s coming. Kashmir. Water. Accusations. This time was no different. Speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar took the usual route.
He called Jammu and Kashmir an internationally recognized disputed territory and slammed India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty as both unfortunate and illegal.
Aimed at India, but Heard by the World
Dar didn’t stop there. In his meeting with UNGA President Dennis Francis, he claimed that India’s suspension of the treaty would directly hurt Pakistan’s 240 million people. His pitch: Pakistan’s livelihood and water security were under threat. He asked the UN and other global bodies to step in.
But here’s the thing. This wasn’t just about water or Kashmir. This was Pakistan once again trying to paint itself as the victim on an international stage.
India Responds, Clearly and Calmly
India didn’t take long to reply. Permanent Representative Ruchira Kamboj had made it clear in past sessions, and this time, Parvathaneni Harish followed up with a direct and precise response.
Without naming Pakistan, Harish reminded the council that terrorism — whether cross-border or homegrown — is one of the biggest threats to global peace. And it needs to be crushed, not tolerated.
He underlined India’s position: Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country, and attempts to question its sovereignty won’t be accepted.
About That Water Treaty
On the Indus Waters Treaty, Harish made it clear. This isn’t a matter for international mediation. India believes its actions are lawful and aligned with its rights under the treaty.
Dar may try to raise alarms, but from Delhi’s perspective, the facts don’t support his claims.
Playing Politics with Peace
Dar also used the opportunity to talk about Gaza, calling Israel’s actions genocide of the innocent and demanding an immediate, unconditional ceasefire.
He even introduced a resolution at the Security Council on peaceful settlement of disputes through multilateralism. Ironically, this came from a government often accused of backing extremism and political instability in its own backyard.
What This Really Means
Pakistan is currently chairing the UN Security Council, and it’s trying to use the moment to push old agendas. But here’s what has changed:
India no longer ignores these theatrics. It responds. And more importantly, the global audience is starting to see through the noise.
