India Warns Pakistan Against Nuclear Blackmail, Affirms Defensive Nuclear Policy at UNPreviousNext

At the UN General Assembly's First Committee, India warned Pakistan against using nuclear threats to evade accountability for terrorism, asserting it will respond firmly to any attacks. Indian diplomat Anmol Sher Bedi emphasized India's defensive nuclear posture and rejected nuclear weapons as routine statecraft tools. India defended its Operation Sindoor as a measured self-defense response to the Pahalgam terror attack. The statements reaffirmed India's stance on Jammu and Kashmir and called for accountability to prevent recurring regional crises.
