India on Monday blasted Pakistan at the United Nations Security Council, saying the neighbouring nation's sole agenda is to "harm my country and my people". Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations, Parvathaneni Harish, also called out Islamabad over its "false and self-serving" account of Operation Sindoor.
"I now respond to the comments of the representative of Pakistan, an elected member of the Security Council, which has a single-point agenda to harm my country and my people. He has advanced a false and self-serving account of Operation Sindoor in May last year... Till 9th of May, Pakistan was threatening more attacks on India. But on the 10th of May, the Pakistani military called our military directly and pleaded for a cessation to the fighting. The destruction caused to multiple Pakistani air bases by the Indian operation, including images of destroyed runways and burnt-out hangars, is in the public domain," he said.

The UN representative took the floor to highlight Pakistan's continued connection with terrorism, asserting that it can never be normalised. "We have heard talk from the representative of Pakistan about the new normal. Let me reiterate again that terrorism can never be normalised 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 legitimise terrorism," Harish added.
India has repeatedly said that Pakistan was forced to seek a truce only eight hours after planning an all-out attack on May 10 last year, after getting overwhelmed by New Delhi's air defence. This was recently reiterated by a detailed assessment by a Switzerland-based military think tank, which said that the Indian Air Force's air superiority over large swathes of Pakistan, "coerced" Islamabad into seeking an urgent ceasefire as they lost the ability to contest during the four-day conflict.
Pakistan has claimed that it destroyed several Indian airbases during the conflict and also shot down six fighter jets. But India has consistently rejected the claims.
