The United Nations Security Council has recently issued a condemnation of the Pahalgam attack in Jammu & Kashmir. However, Pakistan, with the support of China, has been working to water down the language of the statement. This move is in contrast to the condemnation of the Pulwama attack, which called for cooperation with the Indian government. The revised Pahalgam statement now only refers to “all relevant authorities,” indicating a softer stance. It is believed that Pakistan pushed for this change to prevent India from gaining an advantage in any potential investigations. The negotiations surrounding this statement were reportedly challenging, with Pakistan keen on minimizing India’s role in the aftermath of the attack. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the region and the complex dynamics at play between the countries involved.
