The Indian envoy, in a strong rebuttal during the UNSC's open debate on Children and Armed Conflict, called out Pakistan for misusing the platform and violating the Council's agenda. 

"We reject this attempt by Pakistan to deflect attention from the atrocities committed against children in their country, as highlighted in the Secretary General's report, as well as their rampant cross-border terrorism," Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said.

“...I am constrained to respond to the politically motivated remarks made by the delegate of Pakistan, one of the grave violators of the CAAC agenda. Pakistan is casting unwarranted aspersions over UN processes and also smearing India at various discussions to pursue their nefarious agenda. We reject this attempt by Pakistan to deflect attention from the atrocities committed against children in their country, as highlighted in the Secretary General’s report, as well as their rampant cross-border terrorism,” he said.
