Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Asim Iftikhar, accused India of jeopardizing regional peace through “irresponsible and provocative actions” during a briefing to Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) ambassadors on Wednesday. He warned that New Delhi’s “dangerous brinkmanship” for political gains threatens stability across South Asia.
Iftikhar called on OIC nations to ramp up diplomatic efforts to counter India’s aggression, highlighting Islamabad’s concerns over Kashmir, water disputes, and unproven allegations linked to the Pahalgam incident. The OIC ambassadors pledged full solidarity with Pakistan, urging de-escalation through dialogue and reiterating support for resolving Kashmir under UN Security Council resolutions.
