India Pakistan cross-border terror UN statement India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, delivered a pointed response to Pakistan during a Security Council debate on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, emphasizing the consequences of Islamabad’s alleged sponsorship of cross-border terrorism. The discussion, chaired by China under its May 2026 UN Security Council presidency, centered on upholding the UN Charter and strengthening the international system. Parvathaneni accused Pakistan of perpetuating a doctrine of “bleeding India by a thousand cuts,” which he claimed exposed the country’s hypocrisy in its commitment to UN principles. The remarks came amid a tense exchange between India and Pakistan, with Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar raising concerns about Jammu and Kashmir and the Indus Waters Treaty. Dar referenced the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 civilians were killed, which India had suspended the treaty over. The Resistance Front (TRF), a front for the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the attack. Parvathaneni condemned Pakistan’s role in such incidents, asserting that its actions violated principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and peaceful coexistence. Parvathaneni highlighted India’s historical struggle against cross-border aggression, noting that Pakistan’s “unprovoked aggression” and continued support for terrorism had persisted since the country’s creation. He argued that Pakistan’s use of terrorism, religious extremism, and anti-India rhetoric had remained unabated, with the facts “on public record.” India reiterated its right to defend itself against such attacks, warning that Pakistan would face “consequences” for its alleged complicity.#pakistan #india #harish_parvathaneni #ishaq_dar #un_security_council
