India’s First Secretary to the UN Bhavika Mangalanandan responded firmly to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s remarks at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Sharif’s focus on the Jammu and Kashmir issue prompted India’s First Secretary to the UN Bhavika Mangalanandan, to deliver a scathing response, highlighting Pakistan’s long-standing involvement in global terrorism. India warned that Pakistan’s persistent support for cross-border terrorism would lead to “inevitable consequences.”
India Exposes Pakistan’s History of Terrorism on Global Stage
During her rebuttal, First Secretary to the UN Bhavika Mangalanandan emphasized Pakistan’s complicity in global terrorism, citing its decades-long policy of using cross-border terror as a tool of statecraft. “A country run by the military, with a global reputation for terrorism, narcotics trade, and transnational crime, dares to criticize the world’s largest democracy,” she remarked, referring to terror attacks linked to Pakistan, such as the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
India’s Stance on Dialogue with Pakistan
Responding to Sharif’s demand for dialogue and his critique of India’s 2019 abrogation of Article 370, which revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, First Secretary to the UN Bhavika Mangalanandan made it clear: there can be no conversation until terrorism is eradicated. “There can be no compact with terrorism,” she stated, dismissing any possibility of a “Strategic Restraint Regime” until Pakistan changes its approach to terrorism.
Repetition Won’t Change the Truth
First Secretary to the UN Bhavika Mangalanandan also addressed Pakistan’s tactics of repeating false narratives, particularly about Kashmir. “We know that Pakistan will seek to counter the truth with more lies. Repetition will change nothing. Our stand is clear and needs no reiteration,” she firmly stated, warning the global community about Pakistan’s continued efforts to mislead on key issues, especially its backing of terror activities.
India Links Pakistan to Global Terror Networks
India didn’t limit its response to the Kashmir issue. First Secretary to the UN Bhavika Mangalanandan pointed to Pakistan’s ties with global terror figures like Osama bin Laden, accusing the country of being a haven for terrorists. She detailed how Pakistan’s influence extends beyond its borders, with its “fingerprints” found on terror attacks worldwide.
Pakistan’s Human Rights Abuses Exposed
India went further, drawing attention to Pakistan’s internal issues, including human rights violations and the persecution of minorities. Mangalanandan referenced Pakistan’s role in the 1971 Bangladesh genocide and ongoing minority abuses, labeling it “ridiculous” for Pakistan to lecture others on intolerance.
Pakistan’s Denial and Deflection
As expected, Pakistan responded with a Right of Reply, rejecting India’s statements as “baseless and misleading.” They continued to push their call for a referendum in Jammu and Kashmir, despite India’s clear rebuttal. However, the energy behind India’s warning at the UNGA was unmistakable, signaling a firm and unwavering stance against Pakistan’s repeated transgressions.
