India has delivered a sharp rebuttal to Pakistan’s latest attempt to internationalise Jammu and Kashmir, accusing Islamabad of peddling lies while ignoring its own record of political repression, election rigging, and human rights abuses.
Speaking during the General Debate of the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee, PP Chaudhary, who led India’s first delegation to the UNGA and chairs the Joint Parliamentary Committee on One Nation, One Election, called out Pakistan’s “habitual misuse” of international forums to push propaganda.
Rejecting Pakistan’s “baseless remarks” on Jammu and Kashmir, Chaudhary reaffirmed that the Union Territory “is an integral and inalienable part of India.” He said Pakistan’s pattern of misusing global platforms to distract from its domestic failures has become predictable and shameful.
“Pakistan has a long history of misusing international platforms to spread falsehoods and propaganda,” Chaudhary said, highlighting how Islamabad’s leadership has repeatedly tried to deflect global attention from its internal crises. He also reminded the international community of Pakistan’s own governance failures, noting that the country’s rulers “rig elections, jail popular leaders, bomb their own population, and brutally suppress popular protests.”
Chaudhary went further, invoking Pakistan’s own military leadership to expose the country’s internal decay. “Even Pakistan’s own Army Chief had described the country as a ‘dump truck,’” he said, adding that this self-assessment reflected how deep the dysfunction runs in Islamabad’s political and administrative systems.
The Indian delegation used the opportunity to contrast India’s model of governance with Pakistan’s instability. Chaudhary highlighted India’s economic progress and inclusive welfare policies, noting that “over 250 million people have been lifted out of multidimensional poverty in the past decade, nearly 800 million benefit from the Public Distribution System, and social security now covers 64.3% of the population.”
He said that India’s focus on peace, democracy, and equitable growth stands in complete contrast to Pakistan’s record of repression and chaos. “India remains committed to peace, democracy, and equitable growth,” Chaudhary concluded, underscoring that Pakistan’s false narratives at the UN cannot undermine India’s achievements or its sovereignty over Jammu and Kashmir.
By exposing Pakistan’s duplicity on a global stage, India once again made it clear that the era of unchecked propaganda is over. The world, Chaudhary implied, must see through Islamabad’s theatrics -- a failing state attempting to mask its domestic turmoil by pointing fingers at its neighbour.
