India Friday cited Pakistan’s attempts to protect at the UN Security Council the terror group that claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack to point out that the global body's work has been “gridlocked” in absence of urgent reforms.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar also criticised those equating victims and perpetrators of terrorism in the name of global strategy, in an apparent reference to hyphenation of India and Pakistan in the context of the dastardly terror strike.

Jaishankar was speaking at an event that celebrated the 80th anniversary of the United Nations (UN). In his remarks, the external affairs minister said "all is not well" with the UN as its debates have become “increasingly polarised" and its working "visibly gridlocked".
