During a UN Security Council meeting, India strongly criticized Pakistan's characterization of certain groups within its borders as 'Fitna al Hindustan', labeling it as "officially sponsored misinformation". India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, stated that this narrative is part of a systematic effort by Pakistan's deep state to foster animosity towards India, thereby distracting its citizens from pressing political and economic issues. He pointed out that this tactic is a continuation of Pakistan's longstanding practice of blaming external forces for its internal challenges. Parvathaneni also condemned Pakistan's military operations in Afghanistan, which he claimed resulted in significant civilian suffering, calling the justification of such actions as counter-terrorism hypocritical, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. He urged that Pakistan's attempts to mislead the international community regarding its internal issues would ultimately fail.
