UN Secretary-General António Guterres has consistently urged India to exercise restraint during key national security events, including the 2019 Pulwama attack, the abrogation of Article 370, and the enactment of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Following the Pahalgam massacre, where 26 civilians were killed, Guterres condemned the violence but did not address the attackers' targeting based on religious identity. His statements, often referencing the 1972 Simla Agreement, have been perceived by New Delhi as biased, especially when made from Islamabad. The Indian government views Guterres' remarks as misrepresenting internal matters and continues to focus on counterterrorism efforts, particularly in response to threats from Pakistan-based groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba.
