India violating Indus Waters Treaty, sponsoring terrorism: Pakistan
New York: Pakistan has strongly rejected India’s baseless allegations in the Security Council and stated categorically that India was violating the Indus Waters Treaty and sponsoring terrorism.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Pakistan Ambassador to the United Nations Ansar Shah told the Security Council that India was trying unsuccessfully to misrepresent the situation on the ground, and there was no scope for unilaterally suspending the Indus Waters Treaty.
He said that in August 2025, the arbitration court had said that the Indus Waters Treaty was in force, using shared water resources for political pressure was a serious violation of the treaties, and the action by India could pose a threat to regional and global peace and security.
Ansar Shah further said that India’s baseless accusation of terrorism was actually an attempt to cover up its sponsorship and financial support of terrorism against Pakistan. He said that India-backed terrorist groups, including Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, Baloch Liberation Army and Majeed Brigade, have martyred thousands of citizens and law enforcement officials in Pakistan, including women and children.
The Pakistani diplomat further said that evidence of India’s involvement in extrajudicial killings in other countries, including North America, was also in front of everyone. India is not a victim of terrorism but a patron of terrorism, he added.
Ansar Shah said India is also guilty of state terrorism, especially in the illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, where the Kashmiri people are being continuously deprived of their right to self-determination in blatant violation of several Security Council resolutions.
He clarified that India was continuously ignoring its obligations under the UN Charter, especially Article 25, according to which all member states are bound to implement the decisions of the Security Council.
He further said that Jammu and Kashmir was never and is not a part of India, and no unilateral or illegal action by the occupying power can change the historical, legal and disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir.
Ansar Shah said that India should fulfill all its legal obligations under international law, the UN Charter and the Security Council resolutions.
