India strongly criticised Pakistan at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) for violating child rights and spreading cross-border terrorism. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, speaking during the 80th UNGA session, said Pakistan is one of the worst offenders under the Children and Armed Conflict (CAAC) agenda.
Dubey referred to the UN Secretary-General’s 2025 CAAC report, which highlighted Pakistan’s involvement in shelling and airstrikes that killed and injured many Afghan children. He accused Pakistan’s military of attacking health workers and girls’ schools along the Afghanistan border, causing severe harm to civilians.
He also reminded the world of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 civilians died at the hands of Pakistan-trained terrorists. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor in May 2025, conducting surgical strikes on nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to protect its citizens.
Dubey condemned Pakistan for pretending to defend human rights while harming innocent children and women. He urged Pakistan to stop preaching and focus on its own abuses.
He ended by highlighting India’s commitment to child protection through initiatives like Child Helpline 1098, reaffirming that child safety and development are top national priorities.
