New Delhi, October 8 : India has criticised Pakistan at the United Nations for allegedly supporting terrorism while portraying itself as a victim of terror. Speaking at the UN General Assembly’s Sixth Committee, India’s First Secretary Raghoo Puri said terrorist groups that Pakistan had supported in the past were now turning against the country itself.
Puri also referred to former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s 2018 interview, in which he questioned why militant groups were being allowed to cross the border and carry out attacks such as the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
He also highlighted concerns over Pakistan’s alleged financial support to terrorism and referred to the upcoming Financial Action Task Force (FATF) plenary meeting in Paris from October 26 to 30, calling for continued international scrutiny of terror financing.
Replying to remarks made by Pakistan’s Deputy Permanent Representative Usman Jadoon, Puri said Islamabad had failed to control the terrorist organisations it had helped create. He referred to recent comments by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, who said that the security threat faced by Punjab comes more from neighbouring Pakistani provinces than from other countries.
Puri also rejected Pakistan’s claims of success during Operation Sindoor, launched by India in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Taking a sharp dig at Islamabad’s claims, he said Pakistan was free to call damaged airfields and cratered runways a victory.
He accused Pakistan of focusing on propaganda, misinformation and disinformation instead of taking effective steps against terrorism.

On Pakistan’s remarks about minority rights, Puri said the victims of the Pahalgam attack were targeted because of their religion. He stressed that terrorists cannot be presented as “freedom fighters” simply by giving them different political labels.
India also questioned Pakistan’s claims of acting against Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar. Puri noted that Pakistan had raised the reward for information leading to the arrest of the UN-designated terrorist from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 70 lakh.
He also recalled that Pakistani representatives had earlier described Jaish-e-Mohammed as a defunct organisation, questioning the credibility of such claims.
Puri cited the 9/11 and 26/11 attacks as reminders of Pakistan’s long-standing terror record and pointed out that al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was eventually found in Abbottabad, close to the Pakistan Military Academy.
