The United Nations Security Council has recently issued a statement condemning the Pahalgam attack in Jammu & Kashmir. However, Pakistan, with backing from China, pushed for the dilution of the statement’s language. This move is in stark contrast to the condemnation of the Pulwama attack, which called for cooperation with the Indian government. The altered language in the Pahalgam statement only refers to “all relevant authorities,” indicating a strategic change in wording. It is believed that Pakistan’s insistence on this alteration was aimed at preventing India from gaining any advantage in the investigation process. The negotiations surrounding this statement were reportedly challenging, with Pakistan keen on minimizing India’s involvement and influence. The Security Council’s response to the Pahalgam attack underscores the complex dynamics at play in the region and the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan.
