<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s address at the United Nations General Assembly, in which he sought to reiterate Islamabad’s false narrative on the 2025 conflict with India, drew a viral reaction from an Indian diplomat.The cameras captured Indian diplomat R Srinivas appearing to smirk and laugh as Sharif spoke about Pakistan\u2019s claimed \u201cvictory\u201d in the May 2025 conflict with India.The moment came as Sharif presented Islamabad\u2019s version of the conflict and raised several issues concerning India, including the Indus Waters Treaty<\/a> and Kashmir.Addressing the UN, Sharif praised US President Donald Trump for his role in preventing further escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbours during Operation Sindoor<\/a>.\u201cHis timely intervention came at a decisive juncture when two nuclear-armed neighbours stood at the brink of an all-out war. And, who knows, Mr President, the extent of devastation that could have taken place had President Trump not stepped in at this critical moment with clarity of thought and action,\u201d Sharif said.\u201cMr President, we must therefore ensure that South Asia never reaches that precipice ever again,\u201d he added.India, however, has consistently maintained that the cessation of military action on May 10, 2025, was reached through direct communication between India and Pakistan and did not involve third-party mediation.Pakistan\u2019s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) had approached his Indian counterpart on May 10, seeking a cessation of military action.India had launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. India said the operation targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.India also exercised its right of reply to Sharif\u2019s remarks. Petal Gahlot, First Secretary in India\u2019s Permanent Mission to the UN, criticised Pakistan\u2019s political system and its references to democratic rights and human values. She also referred to Osama bin Laden\u2019s presence near Pakistan\u2019s military academy.\u201cThis afternoon, the General Assembly heard some bizarre remarks from the representative of Pakistan. This happens just a fortnight after New York City and the world marked the 25th anniversary of the horrendous 9-11 terrorist attack. This context is important to keep in mind because its mastermind, Osama bin Laden, was living right on the doorstep of the Pakistani Army’s premier academy. This was the very entity which was the subject of such deep genuflection before us today by the representative of Pakistan. But all this is only to be expected from what Pakistanis themselves call a Form 47 government.\u201dGahlot also responded to Pakistan\u2019s references to democratic rights and the role of the military in the country. \u201cWe heard some hypocritical homilies about democratic rights and human values from a regime whose capital at this very moment is being fortified against its own people. And that, Mr. President, is happening because this is a regime of the army, by the army, and for the army. <\/p>\n Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
