Overview

• Exercising its right of reply, India’s Petal Gahlot called Shehbaz Sharif’s UN remarks "absurd theatrics" and said Pakistan glorifies terrorism central to its foreign policy.
• Sharif told the General Assembly that Pakistan shot down seven Indian aircraft in May, claimed his country "won the war," praised President Donald Trump’s role in the ceasefire, and raised India’s pause of the Indus Waters Treaty as an "act of war."
• India accused Pakistan of shielding The Resistance Front at the UN Security Council after the April 22 Pahalgam massacre that killed 26 tourists, citing Pakistan’s history of sheltering terrorists including Osama bin Laden.
• Countering Pakistan’s narrative of the May escalation, India said Islamabad’s military pleaded for a halt to fighting on May 10 after Indian strikes damaged multiple Pakistani airbases, adding that images of the damage are publicly available.
• Pointing to photos from Bahawalpur and Muridke during Operation Sindoor, India demanded Pakistan shut all terror camps and hand over wanted militants, while both sides’ claims over aircraft losses remain disputed.
