India Criticizes Pakistan at UN, Calls It a 'Frankenstein State'

India's Strong Response to Pakistan at the United Nations

United Nations, June 19: India has issued a sharp rebuke to Pakistan during a session at the United Nations, labeling it a "Frankenstein state" that reacts with shock when its own creations turn against it. The accusation included claims that Pakistan is involved in "hosting, training, and deploying" terrorists.

The comments were delivered by Anupama Singh, First Secretary at India's UN Mission, on Wednesday, following Pakistan and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation's (OIC) remarks regarding Jammu and Kashmir during the UN High Commissioner's annual report discussion.

Singh stated, "India feels compelled to respond to the references made by Pakistan and the OIC. We firmly reject the unfounded and malicious claims from Pakistan." She also dismissed the OIC's references to Jammu and Kashmir.

She emphasized, "Jammu and Kashmir has always been, and will continue to be, an integral part of India. The only unresolved matter is Pakistan's illegal occupation of Indian territories and the need for their return."

Critiquing Pakistan's contradictory stance, Singh remarked, "This should not come as a surprise. An illegal occupation can only be maintained through force. This is a nation whose Defence Minister openly admits to using terrorism as a state policy, yet Pakistan claims to be a victim of terrorism."

She added, "This paradox is unique to Pakistan. It exemplifies a Frankenstein state, shocked when its own monster retaliates."

Singh also highlighted the dire situation in regions controlled by Pakistan, noting that the suppression of basic freedoms has escalated to the point where even requests for essentials like food and electricity are met with violence.

Addressing the Indus Waters Treaty, Singh described it as "outdated," stating, "Our stance on the Indus Water Treaty is well established. It is illogical for a state that uses terror as a policy to expect cooperation based on goodwill and friendship."

The treaty, which has been in place since 1960, was suspended following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in April 2025 that resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians.

Singh remarked, "It is undeniable that the treaty is now outdated. No technical agreement can remain static while the world evolves around it."

She further argued that a treaty established in 1960 cannot be viewed as a perpetual right, insulated from accountability and disconnected from the significant changes that have occurred over the last sixty years.

Brokered by the World Bank, the Indus Waters Treaty has regulated the distribution and use of the Indus River and its tributaries between India and Pakistan since its inception.

In conclusion, Singh advised Pakistan to focus on addressing its internal issues rather than coveting Indian territories.
