  "account": "India criticized Pakistan at the United Nations, asserting that Islamabad persistently abused the platform to disseminate falsehoods and misinformation regarding India's Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. In response to Pakistan's statement during the Fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on the agenda item \"Decolonization,\" India exercised its Right of Reply on Friday, October 9, 2026. Mahima Kumari Mewar, an Indian Member of Parliament, delivered the country's strong Right of Reply, stating that a nation like Pakistan, known for its history of military dictatorship, sham elections, incarceration of democratically elected leaders, religious extremism, and sponsorship of terrorism as state policy, should refrain from lecturing others in the future. Mewar emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir is and will always remain an integral part of India. She further called upon Pakistan to cease the ongoing human rights violations in the territories it illegally occupies, where the populace is in open revolt against the military occupation, repression, brutality, and illegal exploitation of resources. Mewar highlighted that in recent months, Pakistani armed forces and their proxies had killed several innocent civilians who were protesting for their fundamental rights, freedoms, and necessities. She is part of a 15-Member Parliament delegation visiting New York for a UN familiarization trip, engaging in various activities at the UN and meeting with members of the Indian diaspora at a special reception hosted by the Consulate General of India in New York.",
