India rejects Pakistan’s remarks on Jammu and Kashmir made during an informal UN Security Council meeting. India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, states that the comments are “unwarranted” and maintains that Jammu and Kashmir is a matter strictly internal to India. The statements are delivered at an Arria-formula-style discussion in which Pakistan and China co-host the meeting, according to the reports. Harish emphasizes that Jammu and Kashmir “has always been, is, and will remain” part of India’s internal affairs, and does not frame the issue as subject to external commentary through the UN process. The coverage reflects a direct diplomatic exchange over UNSC forums, with India using the meeting to formally dispute Pakistan’s positions on the territory and reaffirm its stance on sovereignty and internal jurisdiction.
