Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad interrupts the UNSC meeting to condemn the Afghan representative for what he characterizes as a personal, groundless agenda, arguing that Mr. Faiq is detached from reality and selectively critiques Pakistan. He asserts that Pakistan’s counter-terrorism operations are legitimate, aimed at neutralizing threats emanating from Afghan soil, and conducted in self-defense consistent with international humanitarian law. He highlights Pakistan’s concern with cross-border terrorism that has caused civilian and military casualties and notes that Mr. Faiq did not address these issues. The ambassador accuses India of pursuing a destabilizing agenda against Pakistan through its Afghan policy and alleges India’s complicity with terrorist groups such as the TTP and BLA operating from Afghanistan. He dismisses India’s criticism of Afghanistan’s security situation while pointing to purported evidence of Indian collusion with violent actors. He castigates India as a serial violator of international law, citing occupation, UN Charter and Security Council breaches, state terrorism in Indian-occupied Kashmir, minority marginalization, hate speech, weaponization of water against Pakistan, and pervasive disinformation. The speech contrasts Pakistan’s claimed responsible engagement for peace, stability, and prosperity in Afghanistan with India’s alleged sabotage from Afghan soil. He urges the Taliban regime to meet commitments on counter-terrorism, inclusive governance, and the rights of Afghan women and girls, and calls on India to cease supporting terrorism from Afghan territory, warning that Pakistan will not tolerate further subversion.
