India has slammed Pakistan at the United Nations, calling it a “Frankenstein state” that gets shocked when its “own monster bites back”, as it accused Islamabad of “hosting, training and deploying” terrorists.The remarks were made by Anupama Singh, First Secretary at India’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations, on Wednesday, after Pakistan and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) raised the issue of Jammu and Kashmir during the Interactive Dialogue on the UN High Commissioner’s annual report.”India is compelled to exercise this right of reply in response to references made to it by Pakistan and the OIC. We categorically reject the baseless and malicious allegations made by Pakistan,” Singh said. The diplomat further said, “We also categorically reject the references to Jammu and Kashmir made by the OIC… For the record, Jammu and Kashmir was, is, and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India. The only unresolved issue is Pakistan’s illegal occupation of Indian territories and their return.” She also said that Pakistan is a country whose sitting Defence Minister “boasts of hosting, training and deploying terrorists as state policy”.”This should surprise no one. An illegal and illegitimate occupation can be sustained only through force,” Singh said. “This is the country with the sitting Defence Minister boasts of hosting, training and deploying terrorists and state policy and yet, Pakistan calls itself a victim of terrorism.” The diplomat added, “Indeed, a paradox which only Pakistan could sustain. It is a living example of a Frankenstein state, which is shocked when its own monster bites back.”Anupama further said “denial of basic freedoms has brought matters to a point where even demand for bread, electricity, rights and dignity are met with bullets and brutality.” Singh also mentioned the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, calling it “outdated”.”Our position on the Indus Water Treaty is well known. It defies logic that a state which exports terror as an instrument of policy continues to demand the privileges of cooperation predicated on goodwill and friendship,” said the diplomat. The decades-old treaty was suspended after the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025 that killed 26 civilians.”It is equally undeniable that the treaty is now outdated. No technical arrangement can remain frozen in time while the world around it is transformed,” she added. Singh also said that a treaty negotiated in 1960 cannot be treated as a perpetual entitlement “insulated from accountability, detached from present-day realities and untouched by the profound changes of the past six decades”.The Indus Waters Treaty, brokered by the World Bank, has governed the distribution and use of the Indus River and its tributaries between India and Pakistan since 1960. “Instead of coveting Indian territories, Pakistan would serve itself and its people far better by putting its own house in order,” held the diplomat.
