India ridiculed Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for calling damaged air force bases a “victory” during his UN speech. Petal Gahlot, first secretary at India’s UN Mission, said India has won the conflict and urged Pakistan to “enjoy” its claims. She dismissed Sharif’s statements as theatrics and highlighted India’s firm stance against terrorism.
Gahlot clarified that India will not tolerate nuclear blackmail and will hold both terrorists and their sponsors accountable. She stressed that terrorism is central to Pakistan’s foreign policy, exposing its support and protection of terrorist groups. India also criticized Pakistan for shielding The Resistance Front (TRF), responsible for the Pahalgam tourist attack.
Regarding the May conflict, Gahlot stated that Pakistan threatened India until May 9, but requested a ceasefire on May 10 after Indian forces destroyed multiple airbases. Operation Sindoor targeted terror complexes in Bahawalpur and Muridke, neutralizing key militants. Gahlot emphasized that Pakistan’s officials glorifying terrorists proves their long-standing involvement in exporting terrorism.
India also rebutted Sharif’s claims involving the US in ceasefire facilitation. Gahlot reminded the UN that India-Pakistan issues are addressed bilaterally, with no room for third-party intervention. She concluded that Pakistan’s duplicity and glorification of terrorists at the highest levels cannot hide its continued support for terror activities.
