India Responds to Pakistan's UNGA Speech on Kashmir, Terrorism, and Indus Waters Treaty
At the UN General Assembly, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif raised Kashmir and the Indus Waters Treaty, warning of consequences if India alters water sharing. India responded sharply through diplomat Petal Gahlot and former diplomats, rejecting Pakistan's claims, emphasizing Jammu and Kashmir as integral to India, and warning that continued cross-border terrorism by Pakistan would have consequences. Indian officials highlighted Pakistan's military influence, alleged support for terrorism, and treatment of minorities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, while underscoring India's right to self-defense and suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty amid ongoing tensions.
