India launched a sharp attack on Pakistan at the UN General Assembly, calling it a regime "of the army, by the army, and for the army" after PM Shehbaz Sharif's address. First Secretary Petal Gahlot, exercising India's right of reply, said puppets may come and go but the army calls the shots. She reminded the assembly that 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden lived near the Pakistan Military Academy in Abbottabad.

Gahlot accused Pakistan of hypocrisy on democracy and human rights, pointing to the 27th Amendment granting lifelong immunity to army chief Asim Munir. She said Islamabad's blasphemy laws are used to persecute minorities. On Kashmir, she said India's union territory is an integral part of the country and asked the world to look at killings in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Gahlot warned that terrorism by Pakistan will have consequences and that terrorists will have nowhere to hide.
Indian outlets uniformly reported the diplomatic exchange, focusing on India's sharp rebuttal rather than Sharif's speech. ABP Live, India Today, Times Now and Siasat all led with Gahlot's 'regime of the army' line and the bin Laden remark, framing Pakistan as a military-run state. Siasat added Trump's sharing of Sharif's clip, a detail others omitted. Times Now led with the Indus Waters Treaty threat, which was not the main focus in other reports. The coverage shows a coordinated emphasis on India's counter-narrative, with no outlet giving space to Pakistan's claims. The key takeaway is India's warning that continued terrorism will have consequences, setting the stage for potential further action.
