File photo NEW DELHI: India on Tuesday firmly rejected Pakistan’s reference to Jammu and Kashmir during an open debate at the United Nations Security Council, saying the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral part of India and will always remain so. Speaking at the UNSC Open Debate on “Leadership for Peace”, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Harish P, said Pakistan’s repeated mention of Jammu and Kashmir reflected an “obsessive focus” on harming India and its people. He said: “I refer to the statement made by the representative of Pakistan today. India would like to reiterate that the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral and inalienable part of India. They were, are, and will always remain so. Pakistan’s unwarranted reference to Jammu & Kashmir in today’s open debate attests to its obsessive focus on harming India and its people. A serving non-permanent Security Council Member that chooses to further this obsession in all meetings and platforms of the UN in pursuit of its divisive agenda cannot be expected to fulfil its designated responsibilities and obligations.”The Indian envoy said India signed the Indus Waters Treaty 65 years ago in good faith and with a spirit of friendship. However, he said Pakistan had violated the spirit of the treaty over the decades by waging three wars and sponsoring thousands of terror attacks against India. He added that tens of thousands of Indian lives have been lost in Pakistan-sponsored terrorism over the last four decades.Referring to the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, the ambassador said, “The Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025, involved religion-based targeted killings of 26 innocent civilians by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. It is in this backdrop that India has finally announced that the Treaty will be held in abeyance until Pakistan, which is a global epicentre of terror, credibly and irrevocably ends its support for cross-border and all other forms of terrorism.”Ambassador Harish also criticised Pakistan’s internal political situation, referring to the jailing of a former prime minister, the banning of a political party, and constitutional changes that grant immunity to military leadership.He further India would continue to counter Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in all its forms with full resolve.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Expressing hope for peace and stability in the West Asia region, PM Narendra Modi underlined the significance of efforts to counter terrorism, extremism and radicalisation in a meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II.Abdullah conveyed strong support for India’s fight against terrorism and condemned terror in all its forms and manifestations, said an Indian readout. Modi also reaffirmed India’s support for efforts being made to achieve durable peace in the region.Modi arrived in Amman for what is the first full-fledged bilateral visit by an Indian PM to the country in 37 years. He had in 2018 transited through Jordan on his way to Palestine. The PM is on a three-nation trip to Jordan, Ethiopia and Oman. The leaders also discussed efforts to expand cooperation in areas like trade, fertilisers, digital technology and infrastructure.“On Gaza, from the beginning, your role has been active and positive. It is the hope of all of us that peace and stability remain in this region,” said Modi in his opening remarks.According to Jordan, the need to step up the humanitarian response in Gaza and ensure implementation of the agreement to end the war on the Strip was also discussed. “Against terrorism, our shared and clear stance exists. Under your leadership, Jordan has given a strong and strategic message to all of humanity against terrorism, extremism, and radicalisation,” he added.During the restricted meeting earlier, the leaders discussed giving more strength to cooperation in this area, with Modi recalling the king’s participation in 2018, during his India visit, in a conference on Islamic Heritage. “I remember that our first meeting happened in 2015 at an event focused on countering violent extremism on the sidelines of the UN. You had given inspirational remarks on this subject then too. To promote moderation, your efforts are extremely important not just regionally but for global peace as well,” Modi told Abdullah, adding both sides would continue moving forward solidly in this direction together.In a special gesture, on arrival at the airport in Amman, Modi was received by Jordanian PM Jafar Hassan and accorded a ceremonial welcome. This full-fledged bilateral visit to Jordan is taking place after a span of 37 years, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, said MEA in a statement.Noting that India was Jordan’s 3rd largest trading partner, Modi proposed the two countries should aim to enhance bilateral trade to US$ 5 billion over next five years. On the sidelines of the visit, govts of Jordan and India are due to sign MoUs on renewable energy and water resource management, a cultural exchange programme, a letter of intent on cooperation in the field of digital transformation, and a twinning agreement between the city of Petra and Ellora Caves site in India.In his departure statement earlier, PM Modi said that India shares both age-old civilisational ties, as well as extensive contemporary bilateral relations, with the countries he’s visiting.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndian Army Displays Turkish Yiiha Drone Used By Pakistan During Operation SindoorPM Modi Arrives In Jordan, Receives Warm Welcome By Indian Diaspora In AmmanUS Starts Mandatory Social Media Checks For H-1B Visas Leaving Indian Professionals Most ExposedBJP’s Succession Script Repeats: Why Nitin Nabin Is Working President, And Not Nadda’s ReplacementEnd Of MGNREGA?
