India-Pakistan Tension: After the horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, the tough decisions taken by India have made Pakistan sleep. After India adopted a tough stance against Pakistan by suspending the Indus Water Treaty, Pakistan has now demanded a meeting of the UN Security Council (UNSC) immediately. India’s decisive response has put a huge pressure on Pakistan, resulting in a discussion on India-Pakistan tension in the United Nations Security Council today (May 5, 2025).
Pakistan has requested that the meeting be held ‘behind the closed door’ and the discussion should not be made public. “The situation arising out of the Pahalgam attack is expected to create instability in the entire South Asia region and is a serious threat to international peace and security,” said Atikhar Ahmed, a representative of Pakistan at the United Nations, and is a serious threat to international peace and security. “
India’s decisive step: Pakistan is shaken
Pahalgam attack, in which 26 tourists were killed, is considered to be a direct result of terrorism -nurtured by Pakistan. After this attack, India took the following important decisions:
1. The flow of Indus river water stopped
2. All visas issued for Pakistan are canceled with immediate effect.
3. Defense Advisers were called back from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad
4. Indo-Pak trade completely closed
These steps have led to economic and political deadlock in Pakistan. This is the reason that Pakistan is now trying to raise this situation on the international platform using its temporary membership of the United Nations Security Council.
Threat of nuclear weapons from Pakistan; India showed restraint.
There is an atmosphere of panic in Pakistan due to India’s tough stance. Many leaders including Pakistan’s Defense Minister, Foreign Minister, Information Minister and former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto have started threatening nuclear war against India. He has scared India by reminding Gauri, Ghaznavi and Abdali missiles.
On the other hand, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is constantly saying in front of the international community that “We have no relation with terrorism, it should be investigated internationally.” However, India has not changed its stand and has given a clear message that “no dialogue with supporters of terrorists is possible”.
India strongly opposed the discussion in the ‘closed room’ in the United Nations Security Council
A meeting was held in a special closed room in the United Nations Security Council today at the request of Pakistan. However, India expressed strong displeasure over this and said that “there is no need to take the issue of internal security to international level.” According to India, the attack was the work of terrorist groups in Pakistan and the world should not stand with them. Due to India’s response, Pakistan is politicizing the issue of terrorism in the United Nations Security Council meeting on the one hand, while on the other hand it is trying to free itself from the international pressure falling on it.
India is strong, Pakistan is confused
After the Pahalgam attack, India not only protested, but also took action. This has caused a major setback to Pakistan at the international level. Although Pakistan has tried to go on the UNSC stage, it is unlikely to get much support due to India’s tough stance and cooperation against terrorism globally.
