Pakistan’s Consul General Gul Qaiser Sarwani has told the United Nations in unequivocal terms that Kashmir has never been, and will never be, part of India.
Speaking at the UN Security Council in response to remarks by the Indian representative, Sarwani said that Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognised disputed territory, whose final status must be determined in accordance with UN resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people.
He accused India of repeatedly committing acts of aggression against Pakistan, stating that New Delhi’s conduct reflects the mindset of a “rogue actor.” Sarwani said India has not only engaged in open hostility but has also been involved in the sponsorship of terrorism.
The Pakistani diplomat said there is evidence that terrorist groups operating under Indian patronage, including Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), have carried out multiple attacks inside Pakistan.
He further stated that India’s repeated acts of aggression against Pakistan constitute clear violations of international law and the UN Charter, and reiterated Pakistan’s demand that India immediately cease state-sponsored terrorism.
Addressing India’s remarks on the Indus Waters Treaty, Sarwani said New Delhi was deliberately distorting facts and misinterpreting an international agreement. He stressed that no provision of the Indus Waters Treaty allows for its unilateral suspension or amendment.
Pakistan, he added, remains committed to the treaty and to the peaceful resolution of all disputes in accordance with international law and UN principles.
