External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar criticized the UN and Pakistan at the organization's 80th anniversary event, stating "all is not well" as debates become "increasingly polarized" and work "visibly gridlocked." He condemned Pakistan's Security Council attempts to protect The Resistance Front (TRF), the terror outfit claiming responsibility for the Pahalgam attack. Jaishankar questioned multilateralism's credibility when "sitting Security Council members openly protect" terror organizations and victims are equated with perpetrators in "global strategy", an apparent reference to India-Pakistan hyphenation. Pakistan attempted removing TRF references from UNSC statements condemning Pahalgam. Despite criticizing the UN's failures on terrorism, development, and SDG Agenda 2030, Jaishankar affirmed commitment to multilateralism and supporting the flawed institution during crisis.
