India strongly criticised Pakistan over its “continued sponsorship of cross-border terrorism” and urged Islamabad to “credibly and irrevocably” stop supporting terrorism in all its forms during a UN Security Council debate on “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centred International System” on Tuesday.

The debate was chaired by China as part of its presidency of the 15-nation UN body for May. Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi led the opening session on Tuesday morning.

India slams Pakistan at UNSC debate
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, spoke during the debate and slammed Pakistan for making “baseless and unwarranted remarks” that claimed to support the UN Charter.

“The use of cross-border terrorism by Pakistan and its doctrine of ‘bleeding India by a thousand cuts’ exposes its hollow rhetoric of commitment to the UN Charter,” he said.

Harish also said that Pakistan's record since Independence has been shaped by aggression against India and repeated support for cross-border terrorism.

“Independent India began its life battling cross-border aggression by Pakistan, which coveted Indian territories that had become a part of India as a result of their complete, legal and irrevocable accession,” he said.

The Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 last year was planned by The Resistance Front (TRF)/Lashkar-eTaiba (LeT) terrorist Sajid Saiffullah Jatt, aka Langda, who shared the co-ordinates of the Baisaran meadow with the attackers; one of the terrorists involved was also part of a terror strike on the Srinagar-Leh highway in October 2024; and the three terrorists involved sat outside the meadow and had lunch before launching their attack, and indulged in celebratory firing after it.



These details are part of the National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) charge sheet, which also offers proof of Pakistan’s involvement in the attack that killed 25 tourists and one pony operator by tracing IP addresses of social media accounts and purchase details of the two phones retrieved from the attackers. The charge sheet, filed on December 15 last year, but details of which have just emerged, also gives a blow-by-blow account of the run-up to the attack. HT has reviewed a copy of the charge sheet.
