Overview

• Exercising its right of reply at the General Assembly, Indian diplomat Petal Gahlot called Shehbaz Sharif’s speech “absurd theatrics” and accused Pakistan of glorifying terrorism.
• India demanded that Pakistan immediately shut all terrorist camps and hand over fugitives wanted in India, framing that step as the prerequisite for any peace process.
• India dismissed Sharif’s account of the May clashes as “bizarre,” citing Operation Sindoor strikes in Bahawalpur and Muridke and claiming Pakistan later sought a halt to the fighting.
• Pointing to April’s Pahalgam killings, India said Pakistan shielded The Resistance Front at the UN Security Council, while Pakistan portrays itself as a victim of cross‑border militancy.
• Sharif met UN chief António Guterres to reaffirm commitment to multilateralism, raise Kashmir and Indus Waters Treaty concerns, and seek more climate finance, as he also praised President Donald Trump’s role in de‑escalation.
