Congress Criticizes Pakistan's UN Roles as a Sign of India's Foreign Policy Decline

Concerns Over Pakistan's New UN Responsibilities

On Thursday, the Congress party expressed that Pakistan's recent appointments at the United Nations reflect a troubling decline in India's foreign policy. They questioned how the global community can continue to legitimize Pakistan's sponsorship of terrorism.

Pakistan has been assigned the roles of chair of the UN Security Council's Taliban sanctions committee and vice-chair of the UN Security Council's counter-terrorism committee.

Pawan Khera, head of the Congress media department, highlighted on social media that during Operation Sindoor on May 9, the IMF provided Pakistan with one billion dollars. Following this, the World Bank decided to grant Pakistan 40 billion dollars.

Additionally, on June 3, the Asian Development Bank allocated 800 million dollars to Pakistan. Khera pointed out that just a day later, on June 4, Pakistan was elected to lead the UN Security Council's Taliban sanctions committee and serve as vice-chair of the counter-terrorism committee.
