In a strongly-worded retort in the UNSC, India said it is not normal to tolerate Pakistan’s continued use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy, as New Delhi hit back at Islamabad’s envoy for advancing a “false and self-serving” account of Operation Sindoor.

India’s Permanent Representative to the U.N., Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, delivered a sharp response to comments made by Pakistan’s Ambassador to the U.N., Asim Iftikhar Ahmad.

Mr. Ahmad spoke about Operation Sindoor, Jammu and Kashmir and the Indus Waters Treaty in his remarks at the U.N. Security Council open debate on Monday (January 26, 2026) on ‘Reaffirming International Rule of Law: Pathways to Reinvigorating Peace, Justice, and Multilateralism.’

Mr. Harish said Pakistan, an elected member of the Security Council, has a single-point agenda — to harm India and its people.
