In a scathing diplomatic rebuttal on the global stage, India dismantled Pakistan's dual posture on terrorism at the United Nations, asserting that Islamabad has completely lost control over the terror "Frankenstein monster" (Bhasmasur) it systematically nurtured over decades. Addressing the UN General Assembly's Sixth Committee (Legal Affairs) in New York on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, First Secretary of India's Permanent Mission to the UN Raghu Puri exercised New Delhi's right of reply against unprovoked allegations made by Pakistan's Deputy Permanent Representative Usman Jadoon. Puri underscored that while Islamabad projects itself as an innocent victim of militancy, its home-grown radical machinery has turned inward, unleashing devastation on its own citizens while continuing to strike neighboring sovereign territories.

Citing Pakistani Leaders: Maryam Nawaz's Admission and Nawaz Sharif's 26/11 Revelation

India invoked official statements delivered by Pakistan's top political figures to expose internal contradictions within its governance structure:

Internal Security Dilemma: Puri referenced recent public admissions by Maryam Nawaz, Chief Minister of Pakistan’s Punjab province, who stated in Lahore that her province of 130 million faces greater existential threats from neighboring Pakistani provinces than from across international borders.

Nawaz Sharif's 26/11 Confession: Reminding delegates of the landmark 2018 interview with Dawn, Puri recalled how former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif explicitly acknowledged Pakistan's role in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, admitting that non-state actors were permitted to cross borders and murder over 150 innocent civilians.

The 'Bhasmasur' Warning: Warning Islamabad against playing both sides of violent extremism, Puri stated: "Pakistan has presented itself as a country fighting terrorism and a victim, but it has been hiding the fact that the 'Frankensteins' created by the Pakistani government and over whom it lost control are now wreaking havoc in neighboring countries and doing the same in Pakistan. You cannot support two opposing sides at the same time."

Cratering the Narrative: Operation Sindoor Realities and Masood Azhar's Safe Havens

Dismissing Pakistani claims regarding military encounters, the Indian envoy took aim at military public relations narratives surrounding Operation Sindoor:

Mocking 'Victory' Claims: Rejecting Pakistani assertions of military superiority, Puri remarked: "If bombed-out airfields and cratered runways look like victory to Pakistan, then they can certainly enjoy it."

Deconstructing Psychological Warfare: The diplomat emphasized that Pakistan's desperation to rewrite the battlefield realities of Operation Sindoor stems from its institutional machinery of state-sponsored disinformation and psychological deflection.

The Masood Azhar Question: Highlighting continued state patronage of UN-designated global terrorists, Puri noted that when international news media can effortlessly track down Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar for public comments on Operation Sindoor, the Pakistani establishment's claims of ignorance regarding his whereabouts remain an absurd falsehood.

Targeted Killings in Pahalgam: Exposing the Religious Hatred Behind Cross-Border Jihadi Strikes

Revisiting the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, India confronted the committee with the brutal sectarian realities driving cross-border jihadist networks:

Executions Based on Faith: Puri recalled how terrorists in Pahalgam systematically interrogated civilians to identify Hindu and Christian tourists before executing them in cold blood, stating: "The victims in Pahalgam were not asked about their political ideology. They were asked about their religion."

A Hollow Stance on Tolerance: The envoy emphasized the glaring contradiction of Pakistan lecturing international forums on countering religious hatred while maintaining institutional sanctuaries that nurture sectarian violence.

Call for Genuine Counter-Terror Action: Concluding India's intervention, Puri affirmed that if Islamabad directed even a fraction of the resources it expends on manufactured propaganda toward dismantling terror sanctuaries, South Asia and the wider world would be vastly safer and more stable.
