India rips Pakistan’s terror record at UN with own leaders’ words
India used the UN General Assembly’s Sixth Committee on Wednesday, 7 October 2026, to rebut Pakistan’s remarks by quoting Pakistan’s own leaders against it. First secretary Raghoo Puri said the terror networks Pakistan nurtured now ‘wreak havoc’ inside Pakistan, citing Punjab chief minister Maryam Nawaz’s admission in September 2026 that her province’s threat came more from neighbouring Pakistani provinces than from neighbouring countries, and her father Nawaz Sharif’s 2018 interview questioning cross-border attacks on India.
Puri also dismissed Pakistan’s claims about the outcome of Operation Sindoor, saying ‘bombed-out airfields and cratered runways’ are not victory, and accused Pakistan of a ‘circular economy of words and narratives’. He referred to the Pahalgam terror attack in 2025, where victims were asked about their religion, and questioned Pakistan’s progress against UN-listed terrorist Masood Azhar.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Times of India and Economic Times report the same Indian UN statement verbatim on key points, including Puri's ‘Frankenstein’s monster’ remark and his references to Maryam Nawaz and Nawaz Sharif. The reports diverge mainly in the colour and detail each chooses to anchor. Times of India leads with a factual summary of Puri’s speech and the UN committee context, adding the Pahalgam attack and the Masood Azhar issue, staying closer to straight news. Economic Times opens with a dramatic headline describing Pakistan as a ‘rogue state’ and adds biographical detail on Puri, his degrees and previous postings, and a stronger characterisation of Pakistan’s government as a military-engineered puppet regime.
