Pakistan Accuses India of Running Global Terror Franchise at UN
Pakistan has formally called out India at the United Nations, accusing New Delhi of operating what it described as a global terror franchise that has extended its reach beyond South Asia. The statement, delivered at the UN, represents one of Islamabad's sharpest diplomatic salvos against India in the multilateral forum in recent memory.
Pakistani officials characterised India's alleged support for cross-border militancy and targeted assassinations as a state-sponsored enterprise, pointing to documented cases in multiple countries where Indian intelligence operatives have been implicated. The remarks are part of Pakistan's sustained effort to shift international attention toward what it regards as state-sponsored terrorism emanating from New Delhi.
The accusation arrives against a backdrop of elevated bilateral tensions following recent military and diplomatic friction between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. Pakistan's decision to escalate its rhetoric to the UN Security Council or General Assembly reflects a deliberate strategy to internationalise what has until now been framed primarily as a bilateral dispute.
India has consistently denied Pakistani allegations of sponsoring terrorism and has counter-accused Islamabad of providing sanctuary to militant groups. The UN platform gives Pakistan's claims a formal international airing, though the diplomatic impact will depend on the response from major powers and UN member states.
