  "account": "India rebuked Pakistan at the United Nations General Assembly over the prime minister's comments. First secretary Petal Gahlot of India's Permanent Mission to the UN commented on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. She mentioned that Osama bin Laden was living near the premier military academy of Pakistan. Gahlot criticized Pakistan's stance on democratic rights and human values, accusing the regime of hypocrisy. She stated that the capital was being fortified against its own people due to the authoritarian rule of the military. Gahlot emphasized that Pakistan's 27th Amendment and lifelong immunity for its leader demonstrated that the army held ultimate power. Earlier, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had claimed that India's compliance with the Indus Water Treaty was unjust. The treaty governs the distribution of the waters of the Indus River between India and Pakistan. India suspended the treaty following the Pahalgam terror attack and kept it in place until Pakistan takes action against terrorism. Sharif also sought to use the Kashmir issue as a global platform. India has consistently rejected Pakistan's references to Jammu and Kashmir at the UN and other UN platforms, asserting that the Union Territory is integral and cannot be separated from India.",
