Sharif’s absurd theatrics at UN glorify terror, says India

IN a sharp rebuttal at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), India strongly rejected Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s remarks on the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent the Indian military response, Operation Sindoor, calling them “absurd theatrics” and accusing Islamabad of glorifying terrorism on a global platform.

Exercising India’s Right of Reply, Petal Gahlot, First Secretary at India’s Permanent Mission to the UN, delivered a scathing response following Sharif’s speech earlier on Friday during the General Debate of the UNGA’s 80th session.

“This Assembly witnessed absurd theatrics in the morning from the Prime Minister of Pakistan, who once again glorified terrorism that is so central to their foreign policy,” Gahlot said, underscoring Pakistan’s continued attempts to shield terrorist entities.
