India and Pakistan clashed diplomatically at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) over Kashmir, terrorism, and the 2025 conflict. India's First Secretary at the Permanent Mission to the United Nations, Petal Gahlot, delivered a sharp response to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's address. She rejected Sharif's references to Jammu and Kashmir and accused Pakistan of supporting cross-border terrorism.
Gahlot emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and criticized Pakistan's human rights record, minority rights, and military influence. Sharif, meanwhile, called for a "just and fair solution" to Kashmir and praised U.S. President Donald Trump for allegedly preventing further escalation during the 2025 conflict.
He also criticized India's stance on the Indus Waters Treaty, warning that any attempt to divert Pakistan's share of the waters would be treated as an "act of war." The exchange highlights the ongoing diplomatic divide between India and Pakistan, with each side holding distinct positions on Kashmir, terrorism, water-sharing, and recent military events.
