Story summary

On September 26, 2026, India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar delivered a strong rebuttal against Pakistan at the UN General Assembly in New York City. In his address, he criticized Pakistan for normalizing terrorism and seeking immunity from its consequences without naming the country directly. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan had previously called for a just solution to the Kashmir issue on September 25, 2026, suggesting it as essential for regional peace.

Jaishankar asserted that India retains the right to defend itself against terrorism and emphasized that friendship cannot coexist with terrorist activities. He warned that understanding based on such principles would be questioned if Pakistan does not change its ways regarding terrorism. The Indian minister highlighted that state-sponsored terrorism poses a persistent threat to global peace, implicitly blaming Pakistan for this issue.
