Pakistan Does It Again, Shehbaz Sharif Raises Kashmir at UN

Sharif is expected to repeat Pakistan’s Kashmir case and cite a recent ceasefire after the four-day war, officials said.

  • On Friday, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York, reviving the Kashmir issue while claiming Pakistan achieved "victory" during the May 2025 conflict with India.
  • The speech follows India's May 2025 Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror infrastructure after the Pahalgam attack, continuing decades of Pakistani leaders using the UNGA to advance their Kashmir narrative.
  • Sharif also accused India of weaponizing water, threatening that any attempt to divert Pakistan's share of the Indus River system would be treated as an act of war, citing the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty.
  • Crediting President Donald Trump for "timely intervention," Sharif claimed Trump's actions prevented catastrophic escalation, while India maintains the ceasefire resulted from direct bilateral communication between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
  • Facing domestic economic difficulties and opposition protests, Sharif's rhetoric aligns with historical UNGA patterns, though India consistently rejects these assertions, labeling Jammu and Kashmir an inalienable part of India.
