Speaking on terrorism, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni mentioned, “We have heard talk to inform the representative of Pakistan about the new normal. Let me reiterate again that terrorism can never be normalized as Pakistan wishes to do. It is not normal to tolerate Pakistan’s continued use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy. This hallowed chamber cannot become a forum for Pakistan to legitimize terrorism.” On the Indus Waters Treaty, Ambassador Parvathaneni said India had entered into the agreement 65 years ago in good faith, but Pakistan had repeatedly violated its spirit. He added, “We will do whatever required to protect and ensure the safety and security of our citizens.”

“Throughout the six and a half decades, Pakistan has violated the spirit of the treaty by inflicting three wars and thousands of terror attacks on India. Thousands of Indian lives have been lost in Pakistan-sponsored terror attacks. India was compelled to finally announced that the treaty will be held in abeyance until Pakistan, a global epicenter of terror, credibly and irrevocably ends its support for cross-border and all other forms of terrorism,” he stated.
