A Pakistani diplomat has responded to allegations made by an Indian delegate at the UN General Assembly, accusing India of "exporting terrorism and violence" while trying to portray itself as a victim. According to the Daily Times, Saima Saleem, a counsellor at the Pakistan Mission to the United Nations, made these remarks in response to India's claims.
India's External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, criticised Pakistan at the UN General Assembly, describing it as a "serial practitioner of terrorism". He stated that attempts to normalise terrorism or claim immunity from its consequences would not be accepted, and asserted India's right to defend itself against terrorism.
The exchange between India and Pakistan at the UN General Assembly comes amid heightened tensions between the two nations. Pakistan's Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, had previously raised the issues of Kashmir and the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict in his UN speech.
