Jaiswal stated that Pakistan was actively engaging in the spread of fake news and manipulated videos, asserting that this represented a deliberate attempt to conceal internal failures and divert global scrutiny from alleged abuses within its own borders.
He further expressed concern over reports emerging from Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, where protests have reportedly taken place over economic hardship, governance deficiencies, and lack of access to essential services. According to Jaiswal, there are also accounts of severe police brutality during these demonstrations, with several protesters reported killed and many others injured.
Highlighting the gravity of the situation, the spokesperson urged the international community to take note of the developments in the region. He also stated that India expects global institutions and nations to hold Pakistan accountable for what he described as continuing misdeeds and human rights abuses.
Separately, protests in various parts of Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir have been reported over rising inflation, increased electricity tariffs, governance concerns, and demands for improved political representation. These demonstrations have reportedly escalated into clashes between protesters and security forces, resulting in casualties and injuries.
In a parallel diplomatic engagement at the United Nations Security Council meeting on Afghanistan, India strongly criticized Pakistan’s use of the term “Fitna al Hindustan” to describe militant groups operating within its territory.
India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, rejected Pakistan’s allegations that such groups are backed by India. He asserted that Pakistan’s official use of the term constitutes state-sponsored misinformation designed to mislead both domestic and international audiences.
Harish stated that the narrative reflects an attempt to distract from Pakistan’s internal political and economic challenges and described it as part of what he termed an organized “factory of hate.”
He also raised concerns over Pakistan’s military actions in Afghanistan, particularly highlighting civilian harm resulting from cross-border operations. Emphasizing the humanitarian impact, he said, “Dressing up a massacre as a military operation does not absolve the perpetrator. Killing, maiming and orphaning civilians is not counter-terrorism.”
The Indian envoy further remarked that Pakistan has historically attributed its internal difficulties to neighboring countries rather than addressing its own structural challenges.
The developments underscore escalating diplomatic tensions, with India intensifying its criticism of Pakistan’s internal governance issues and its external narrative strategy on international platforms.
