Overview

• Delivering India’s statement at the UN General Assembly, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey labeled Pakistan a grave violator of the Children and Armed Conflict agenda.
• Dubey cited the UN Secretary-General’s 2025 CAAC report in alleging Pakistani attacks on health workers and girls’ schools and cross-border strikes that killed and maimed Afghan children.
• Referencing the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians, India said May’s Operation Sindoor conducted surgical strikes on nine terrorist hideouts as a lawful counter-terror response.
• India accused Pakistan’s military of deliberately targeting Indian border villages in May, resulting in civilian casualties including children, and urged international accountability.
• New Delhi contrasted its stance with earlier UNGA remarks by Pakistan’s prime minister about downing Indian jets, which India has dismissed as baseless, underscoring the ongoing diplomatic confrontation.
