India on Friday hit back at Pakistan after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s address to the United Nations General Assembly, accusing Islamabad of glorifying terrorism and spreading falsehoods on the world stage.

Exercising India’s right of reply, Indian diplomat Petal Gahlot described Sharif’s remarks as “absurd theatrics” and said Pakistan had once again attempted to peddle a distorted narrative.

“This assembly witnessed absurd theatrics in the morning from the Prime Minister of Pakistan, who once again glorified terrorism that is so central to their foreign policy,” Gahlot said. “However, no degree of drama and no level of lies can conceal the facts.”

She pointed out that Pakistan had blocked accountability for a Pakistani-sponsored terror group accused of killing tourists in Jammu and Kashmir during an April 2025 attack, and recalled Islamabad’s history of sheltering global terrorists.

“Mr President, a country long steeped in the tradition of deploying and exporting terrorism has no shame in advancing the most ludicrous narratives to that end. Let us recall that it sheltered Osama bin Laden for a decade, even while pretending to partner in the war against terrorism,” she said, noting Pakistani ministers themselves had admitted to running terror camps.

“It should come as no surprise that once again this duplicity continues, this time at the level of its Prime Minister,” she added.
