At an Arria-formula meeting of the UN Security Council, India responds to remarks by Pakistan concerning Jammu and Kashmir. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, says the Union Territory is “strictly internal” to India and will remain so. India characterizes Pakistan’s comments as “unwarranted,” arguing that Jammu and Kashmir is not a matter for external discussion. Both reports describe Harish’s statement to this effect during the meeting, emphasizing that Jammu and Kashmir has always been part of India and will continue to be. The accounts focus on the diplomatic exchange at the UN forum, without detailing specific allegations raised by Pakistan or providing additional context on any subsequent actions. The reports agree that India uses the Arria-formula session to reiterate its position on Jammu and Kashmir as an internal matter, and to reject Pakistan’s involvement or commentary.
