Speaking at an interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues at the UN General Assembly's Third Committee, India's First Secretary at the Permanent Mission to the UN, Raghoo Puri, called out Pakistan's conduct and said its representatives should focus on the welfare of their own people instead of taking directions from the military.
India has harshly criticized Pakistan at the United Nations for using the international forum to spread propaganda while failing to protect its own citizens, particularly minority groups. India's First Secretary at the Permanent Mission to the UN, Raghoo Puri, emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir remains an integral part of India and demanded that Pakistan vacate the territory under its illegal occupation.
Puri also urged Pakistan to prioritize the welfare of its citizens over military directives. Additionally, India defended its commitment to climate justice and judicial independence, stressing the importance of equity, climate justice, and sustainable development at the UN General Assembly.
