On Friday, September 25, India and Pakistan exchanged accusations at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif criticized India's stance on Kashmir, alleging human rights violations in the disputed region. He claimed that India's military clashes with Pakistan last year constituted external aggression under a false pretext, and that the conflict began on May 7 with Indian missile strikes on Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir.
Sharif accused India of weaponizing the Indus Waters Treaty and called for a just and fair resolution of the Kashmir dispute. The Indian Ambassador to the UN, Petal Gahlot, rejected Sharif's remarks, accusing Pakistan of terrorism, deceit, and duplicity. Gahlot criticized Pakistan's military establishment and its treatment of minorities, while reaffirming India's position that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country.
