India strongly criticized Pakistan during a recent United Nations Security Council (UNSC) session, accusing it of sponsoring cross-border terrorism and violating principles of sovereignty and peaceful coexistence. Harish Parvathaneni, India's Permanent Representative to the UN, responded to Pakistan's remarks by asserting India's right to defend itself against terrorism originating from Pakistan. He highlighted Pakistan's strategy of 'bleeding India by a thousand cuts,' which he claimed undermines its public commitments to the UN Charter. The discussion also addressed the need for reforms in the UNSC, which Parvathaneni argued has not evolved since its formation in the 1940s. He stressed that the UNSC must adapt to contemporary global dynamics and called for an expansion of its permanent membership. The session also touched on the Indus Waters Treaty, which India suspended after a terror attack attributed to Pakistan-based groups. Parvathaneni reiterated India's commitment to multilateralism, urging for cooperation over confrontation in international relations.
