India refuts Pakistan at UNSC: 'Nation that makes no distinction between terrorists and civilians' - Top quotes | Today news

In a fixed and unequivocal statement at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), India launched a shocking attack on Pakistan, saying that a nation that makes no distinction between terrorists and civilians has no credentials to talk about the protection of civilians. India’s permanent representative of the UN ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said this while addressing the UN Safety Council on Friday. He emphasized that the Pakistani army deliberately shot down Indian border towns, “killed more than 20 civilians and injured more than 80.” “There was intentional target of places of worship, including gurudwaras, temples and monasteries, as well as medical facilities. Preaching to this body after such behavior is very hypocritical,” said ambassador Harish. He said the victims of Pakistani terrorism have been predominantly civilians since its purpose was to “attack our prosperity, progress and our morale.” He further claims, “Pakistan has repeatedly used their civilian coverage to promote the cause of terrorism.” “Let’s be clear. Protection of civilians should not serve as an argument for the protection of unexpected terrorists. The international community must come together at a zero tolerance for terrorism and call out those who sponsor and defend it,” Harish said. India refuts the disinformation of Pakistan on Indus water treaty at UNSC at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), India has also accused Pakistan of spreading disinformation over Indus water treaty and repeating its dedication to responsible water management even in the midst of continuing border transfer terrorism. Parvataneni Harish said at the Arria Formula meeting: “India entered into the Indus water treaty in good faith 65 years ago.” He pointed out that Pakistan violated the spirit of the Treaty by administering three wars and thousands of terrorist attacks on India, which led to more than 20,000 Indian lives lost over the past four decades. Harish said India formally asked Pakistan to discuss changes to the treaty, but Pakistan continued to block any changes to this infrastructure and any amendments of the terms allowed under the Treaty. He said: “Some of the old dams are facing safety issues. Pakistan has continued to block any changes to this infrastructure that is permissible under the treaty.” “Against this background, India has finally announced that the treaty in compliance will be until Pakistan- a global epicenter of terror, credible and irrevocably ending its support for border-crossing terrorism,” he said. “Obviously, it is Pakistan who contradicts the Indus water treaty,” Harish concluded. India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty in April 2025 after the Pahalgam terror attack, which blamed it on Pakistan-based terrorists. (With inputs of ani, pti)
