India raises concerns about Pakistan’s actions at the UN Security Council during the annual open debate on “Protection of civilians in armed conflict,” according to multiple outlets. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, responds after Pakistan’s representative brings up issues related to Jammu and Kashmir at the same forum. Parvathaneni says it is “ironic” for Pakistan to refer to matters India characterizes as internal to India while, he argues, Pakistan has a “long-tainted record of genocidal acts.”
Business Standard further reports that Parvathaneni links his remarks to Pakistan’s conduct over decades, alleging that Pakistan seeks to externalise internal failures through violence both within and beyond its borders. It also says Pakistan’s representative previously raised Pakistan’s strikes on Afghanistan earlier this year, and that India references a reported airstrike during Ramadan in March.
Across sources, the accounts focus on the exchange at the UNSC debate and India’s criticism of Pakistan’s record, with Pakistan’s Jammu and Kashmir-related comments described as the immediate prompt for India’s statement.
