India has criticised Pakistan's response to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s remarks at the UN General Assembly (UNGA), describing Islamabad’s reaction as an implicit admission of its “longstanding practice of cross-border terrorism”.

During his address at the UNGA General Debate on Saturday, Jaishankar, without naming Pakistan, stated: "Major international terrorist attacks are traced back to that one country."

Later in the evening, Pakistan used its Right of Reply to accuse India of attempting to “malign Pakistan” with “malicious accusations” regarding terrorism, despite Jaishankar not explicitly naming the country. The Pakistani delegate called India’s statements a “deliberate attempt to repeat lies”.
