 "'Fuels global terrorism': India hits out at 'rogue state' Pakistan at UN's portal launch")
India called Pakistan a “rogue state” that spreads global terrorism and threatens peace during a statement at the United Nations.
This comes as tensions soared between the two nations in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, in which Pakistani terrorists killed 26 innocent people, mostly tourists.
India’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Yojna Patel, pointed to Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif’s “open confession” about Islamabad’s history of training and funding terrorists, saying it was not surprising.
“The whole world has heard Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif admitting and confessing Pakistan’s history of supporting, training and funding terrorist organisations in a recent television interview.
This open confession surprises no one and exposes Pakistan as a rogue state fuelling global terrorism and destabilising the region. The world can no longer turn a blind eye,” she said.
Ambassador Patel also took a dig at Pakistan for misusing the UN platform to spread propaganda and make baseless allegations against India.
Her remarks came during the launch of the Victims of Terrorism Association Network (VOTAN), which aims to support victims and survivors of terrorism and help them become advocates and peacebuilders.

Afterwards, India took the bold decision to downgrade its diplomatic ties with Pakistan and put the Indus Water Treaty on hold.

“We have been doing this dirty work for the US for the past three decades, including the West and UK," Asif said.
