India Warns Pakistan of "Consequences" Over Terror Export

Hours after Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif raked up the Kashmir issue at the United Nations General Assembly, India reacted sharply, warning Pakistan of "consequences" over its export of terror. India's Permanent Mission to the UN, Petal Gahlot, First Secretary, rejected Pakistan's allegations and underlined that Jammu and Kashmir was an "integral and inalienable part" of India and would remain so.

Sharif had told the UNGA that any attempt to alter the status of the Indus Waters Treaty would be considered an "act of war". India put the treaty in abeyance in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025. Gahlot reminded the world how Pakistan harboured Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks in New York.

There, the UNGA session was being held.

India to Keep Indus Waters Treaty in Abeyance Until Pakistan Credibly Stops Cross-Border Terrorism.

"At the heart of the issue is the long-standing practice of cross-border terrorism by Pakistan. We demonstrated last year that terrorists will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Our right to defend ourselves against terrorism will be exercised and continued.

Terrorism by Pakistan will have consequences,We are confident that this Assembly will recognise Pakistan and its policies for what they really are. Not what its representative mendaciously projects it to be. Reiterating falsehoods year after year does not make them true.

Pakistan's terrorism, deceit and duplicity will neither benefit it nor the world," she said.

Violent clashes and a security crackdown in the disputed territory of PoK have led to the indefinite postponement of elections to the region's assembly. With dozens of protesters killed in the process. The postponement affects several seats, following the scheduled polls last month.

Emphasizing the need for a UN-led plebiscite to determine the region's future. Khan accused India of attempting to alter the region's demographic makeup and legal status through various means.

He also warned that any attempt to disrupt Pakistan's share of the Indus River waters would be perceived as a serious threat to regional stability, prompting concerns of an "act of war".
