India has slammed Pakistan at the United Nations as it accused Islamabad of hosting, training and deploying terrorists. India called Pakistan a ‘Frankenstein State’ that gets shocked when its own monster bites back.

 

The remarks were made by Anupama Singh, First Secretary at India’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations, yesterday, after Pakistan and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) raised the issue of Jammu and Kashmir during the Interactive Dialogue on the UN High Commissioner’s annual report. 

 

Singh said India is compelled to exercise this right of reply in response to references made to it by Pakistan and the OIC. She said that Pakistan is a country whose sitting defence minister boasts of hosting, training and deploying terrorists as state policy.

 

Singh said India categorically reject the baseless and malicious allegations made by Pakistan. She said Jammu and Kashmir was, is, and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India. The only unresolved issue is Pakistan’s illegal occupation of Indian territories and their return.

 

Singh also mentioned the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, calling it outdated. She said our position on the Indus Water Treaty is well known. It defies logic that a state which exports terror as an instrument of policy continues to demand the privileges of cooperation predicated on goodwill and friendship. 

 

The decades-old treaty was suspended after the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025 that killed 26 civilians.

Singh also said that a treaty negotiated in 1960 cannot be treated as a perpetual entitlement insulated from accountability, detached from present-day realities and untouched by the profound changes of the past six decades.

 

The term “Frankenstein state” is a geopolitical metaphor derived from Mary Shelley’s classic novel. It describes a nation that creates, nurtures, or sponsors extremist groups as a tool of state policy, only to lose control and suffer when those very groups turn against it.
