'No Nuclear Blackmail, No Escape for Terror Sponsors': India's Stern Warning to Pakistan at UN
India said Pakistan cannot hide behind nuclear threats and warned that any future terrorist attack will draw a strong response.
- On Friday, October 9, 2026, Indian diplomat Anmol Sher Singh Bedi delivered a sharp rebuke at the United Nations General Assembly's First Committee, asserting New Delhi will "not bow" to nuclear blackmail regarding terror attacks.
- Bedi argued that regional crises follow a "recurring pattern: first, provocation; second, denial of responsibility; and third, appeals for restraint," while emphasizing India's nuclear capabilities remain strictly defensive.
- Following the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed, India launched Operation Sindoor in May 2025 to target terror infrastructure; New Delhi has held the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance.
- Regarding nuclear proliferation, Bedi urged global suppliers to exercise vigilance, noting the AQ Khan network previously provided "one stop shopping' for countries seeking to develop nuclear weapons."
- Separately, in the Fourth Committee, Parliament member Mahima Kumari Mewar criticized Islamabad for "peddling lies and falsehoods" about Jammu and Kashmir, declaring the region remains "integral and inalienable" to India.
