India rips Shehbaz Sharif at UN: ‘Pakistan spreading misinformation…, has violated spirit of the Indus Waters Treaty by…’

India accused Pakistan of violating its spirit by inflicting three wars and thousands of distress assaults and ripped it for spreading ‘disinformation’ at the UN on the Indus Waters Treaty. It also asserted that Pakistan continue to withhold hostage lives of civilians, non secular concord and financial prosperity.

“We are constrained to answer to the disinformation being utilized by the delegation of Pakistan with regard to the Indus Waters Treaty. India has always acted in a accountable manner as an upper riparian grunt,” India’s Everlasting Consultant to UN Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said on Friday.

Harish became addressing the UN Security Council Arria Formula assembly organised by the Everlasting Mission of Slovenia on ‘Keeping Water in Armed Battle – Keeping Civilian Lives.’

Harish highlighted four aspects to express the “disinformation” by Pakistan, which spoke about India’s determination to slump the Indus Waters Treaty.

In the wake of the horrific April 22 Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir by which 26 civilians had been killed, India had made up our minds that the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 may be held in abeyance with immediate discontinue until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its enhance for putrid-border terrorism.

Harish advised the UN assembly that India had entered into the Indus Waters Treaty 65 years within the past in good religion.

Noting that the Preamble of the Treaty describes that it became concluded ‘in a spirit of fine will and friendship’, Harish said throughout these six and a half decades, “Pakistan has violated the spirit of the treaty by inflicting three wars and thousands of distress assaults on India.”

The Indian envoy underlined that within the final four decades, better than 20,000 Indian lives were lost in distress assaults, the most present of which became the dastardly focused distress attack on tourists in Pahalgam.

At the same time as India has proven extraordinary persistence and magnanimity throughout this period, Harish said Pakistan’s “grunt-subsidized putrid-border terrorism in India seeks to withhold hostage the lives of civilians, non secular concord and financial prosperity.”

Harish pointed out that India has formally asked Pakistan to keep up a correspondence about the adjustments of the Treaty on several times within the previous two years but Islamabad continues to reject these.

“Pakistan’s obstructionist contrivance continues to stop the exercise of stout utilisation of legitimate rights by India,” he said.

Additional, Harish said that beforehand 65 years, some distance-reaching essential adjustments comprise taken grunt now not easiest in phrases of escalating security concerns by putrid-border distress assaults but also rising requirements for producing stunning vitality, climate switch and demographic switch.

“Technology for dam infrastructure has transformed to develop certain that the safety and efficiency of operations and water consume. Among the ragged dams are going by severe security concerns,” he said adding that Pakistan has persisted to “consistently block” any adjustments to this infrastructure, and any adjustments of the provisions, which is permissible below the Treaty.

He renowned that in 2012, terrorists even attacked the Tulbul Navigation Challenge in Jammu and Kashmir.

“These cynical acts continue to endanger the safety of our initiatives and the lives of civilians.

“It is in opposition to this backdrop that India has within the halt presented that the treaty will be in abeyance until Pakistan, which is a worldwide epicentre of distress, credibly and irrevocably ends its enhance for putrid-border terrorism. It is glaring that it's Pakistan which stays in violation of the Indus Waters Treaty.”

Earlier within the day, Harish delivered a stable response to Pakistan at a UNSC birth debate on ‘Security of Civilians in Armed Battle’, calling out Pakistan’s “grossly hypocritical” behaviour and placing forward that a nation that makes no distinction between terrorists and civilians has no credentials to keep up a correspondence about conserving civilians.

After Pakistan’s Ambassador at the UN Asim Iftikhar Ahmad raked the Kashmir reveal and spoke about the present warfare between the two nuclear-armed countries, Harish slammed Pakistan’s baseless allegations and said India experienced decades of Pakistani-subsidized terrorist assaults throughout its borders.

“This has ranged from the horrific 26/11 attack on the city of Mumbai to the barbaric mass execute of innocent tourists in Pahalgam in April 2025. The victims of Pakistani terrorism were predominantly civilians since its goal has been to attack our prosperity, development and morale. For such a nation to even take part in a dialogue on the protection of civilians is an affront to the global community,” Harish said.

Pahalgam attack

India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ below which it utilized precision strikes on distress infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir within the early hours of May 7, following which Pakistan tried to attack Indian navy bases on May 8, 9 and 10.

The Indian side replied strongly to the Pakistani actions. The on-ground hostilities ended with an working out on stopping the navy actions following talks between the directors traditional of navy operations of all aspects on May 10.

Harish advised the UN Security Council that Pakistan has repeatedly ancient civilian quilt to contrivance the cause at the serve of terrorism.
