After giving strong reply to 57 Muslim nations, India shows Pakistan it's place at UN following..., sends a message that Shehbaz will...
Pakistan has long used terrorism as a weapon against India. The most recent example was the attack in Pahalgam. Speaking at the United Nations, India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish strongly criticized Pakistan. He said that Pakistan keeps supporting terrorism and the people who carry it out. He reminded everyone that the Pahalgam attack, carried out by terrorists from Pakistan, killed 26 innocent people, and the world has not forgotten that tragedy.
'The world has not forgotten the savage targeted attacks by Pakistani and Pakistani-trained terrorists,' the Ambassador said, noting the Security Council's April 25 press statement that had underscored the 'need to hold perpetrators, organisers, financiers, and sponsors of this reprehensible act accountable and bring them to justice.'
Parvathaneni Harish said that Pakistan is not only supporting terrorists but also giving them training and financial help. He pointed out that during Operation Sindoor, India carried out strikes on terrorist camps and killed several militants. But instead of condemning them, Pakistan gave state honors to those killed terrorists, showing its true intentions, even as it tries to preach to others.
He added that the time has come for all UN member countries to stop holding back for political reasons and to hold both terrorists and the countries that support them responsible for encouraging violence and harming innocent lives. Criticizes Pakistani army for firing on Indian border villages
He also strongly criticized the Pakistani army for firing on Indian border villages in May 2025, which caused deaths and injuries to innocent people.
He said it was highly hypocritical for Pakistan to speak at international platforms after doing such things.
In his closing remarks, the Indian representative firmly stated that Jammu and Kashmir is, was, and will always be a part of India, no matter how many false claims Pakistan makes again and again. Pakistan worst violators of the CAC
The Indian envoy called Pakistan 'one of the worst violators of the CAC (Children and Armed Conflict) agenda,' pointing out serious issues not just within Pakistan but also in neighboring regions. He said that children in Pakistan face systemic abuse, and many Afghan children have been harmed or killed because of cross-border attacks and airstrikes carried out by Pakistan's military in areas near the Afghanistan border.
Harish also highlighted that Pakistan continues to back cross-border terrorism, and is now attacking areas near the Afghanistan border, which is badly affecting Afghan civilians, including children.
'Pakistan is casting unwarranted aspersions over UN processes and also smearing India at various discussions to pursue its nefarious agenda. We reject this attempt by Pakistan to deflect attention from the atrocities committed against children in their country, as highlighted in the Secretary-General's report, as well as their rampant cross-border terrorism,' he said. India slams OIC for false remarks on Kashmir
On Monday, June 23, 2025, India strongly condemned a recent statement by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) regarding Jammu and Kashmir. The OIC had once again echoed Pakistan's false claims, accusing India of serious human rights violations in the region.
In a firm response, India said the OIC is spreading baseless and factually incorrect statements under Pakistan's influence. India made it clear that such comments are politically motivated and have no connection to reality.
India also pointed out that most OIC member countries are Muslim-majority nations, and Pakistan has long used the platform to push anti-India propaganda.

Globalisation 2.0: India well positioned to emerge as one of new centres of gravity: Anand Mahindra
A growing wave of protectionism is challenging decades of liberal trade order, dramatically highlighted by the Trump's tariffs, but economic nationalism does not spell the death of globalisation rather it heralds its rebirth, presenting an opportunity for India to emerge as a vital player, according to M&M Ltd Chairman Anand Mahindra . In his address to shareholders in Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) Annual Report for 2024-25, Mahindra, said "India, too, will face challenges" due to the ongoing global turmoil in the midst of a growing wave of protectionism. He said globalisation is evolving and the US market centrality and China-centric supply chains are being replaced by multi-polar, regional collaborations. As structural and political uncertainties diminish US dominance, alternative capital destinations are emerging, Mahindra noted. Similarly, global supply chains are diversifying away from China, creating new trade partnerships. Lower tariff barriers among regional partners may emerge, boosting free trade and reshaping international trade centres of gravity. Live Events "Ironically, the US shift toward de-globalisation may lead to a new avatar of globalisation 'multi-polar, regional, and driven by domestic imperatives. In such shifting sands, I believe India is well-positioned to emerge as one of the new centres of gravity," Mahindra asserted. He further said, "We are a stable democracy, generally regarded as a trustworthy partner, and are bolstered by a strong military that is not politicised." Referring to Pakistan, he said, "The situation with our provocative neighbour is always volatile, but I am optimistic that we can demonstrate the limits to our tolerance without impeding our path to economic ascendance." These implications offer a portal to a stronger future for India and Indian companies, he noted, adding "but the future remains uncertain." On how the Mahindra group should navigate these turbulent waters, he said, "Whether it be a country or a business, the winners will be the ones who can successfully navigate uncertainty and ambiguity -- the ones who are resilient." Referring to the current global situation, he said it remains fluid. Recent US-China tariff talks and strengthened trade ties with the UK suggest a pragmatic layer to US trade policy, combining protectionism with strategic global engagement. "However, there remains a strong likelihood of significant decoupling between the US and China, he added. Whatever the outcome, it is apparent that many nations will have to swallow some "poison", Mahindra said adding, "international trade has already slowed amidst heightened uncertainty and dampened investor confidence." Noting that industries reliant on global supply chains -- like electronics and consumer goods -- will bear the brunt of rising input costs, Mahindra said "countries deeply integrated into global trade networks must rethink dependencies and diversify sourcing." Established geopolitical alliances are being realigned, ushering in a new era of economic nationalism. Businesses worldwide will adapt by localising operations, re-engineering supply chains, and exploring alternate markets. "India, too, will face challenges. Our large trade deficit, vulnerabilities in certain sectors, increased competition among nations, and uncertainties affecting GDP aspirations are all challenges that must be met," Mahindra said. He pointed out that key industries, such as steel and aluminium, could face headwinds, and export volumes may be impacted. "The challenge will be to minimise the adverse effects, akin to how Lord Shiva confined the poison to his throat without letting it spread (during Samudra Manthan)," Mahindra said. He cautioned against focusing solely on mitigation saying it reflects a reactive mindset. "Instead, we can proactively view this as an opportunity to enable some 'Amrit' to emerge," he said, suggesting to "seize this challenge as an opportunity to accelerate economic growth exhorting private enterprise to play a pivotal role in this transformation. Mahindra noted that China's adversarial stance may create opportunities for India to position itself as a supply chain alternative -- a long-term goal for Indian business. "Innovation and R&D could receive renewed focus, while manufacturing could once again take centre stage. Restrictions on China and high tariffs for other competing countries could open new markets for Indian goods," he said. While the potential exists, he said achieving it will require a concerted focus on manufacturing and a palpable increase in private investment. "Speed and agility are essential, as countries like the Philippines and Vietnam are already touting themselves as future manufacturing hubs. We must act swiftly and strategically to secure our share of the Amrit," Mahindra said.
