India strongly criticized Pakistan at the United Nations Security Council after Islamabad raised the Jammu and Kashmir issue during a debate on peaceful dispute resolution. Indian ambassador P Harish accused Pakistan of being 'steeped in fanaticism and terrorism' and called it a 'serial borrower' from international financial institutions, contrasting it with India's democratic and economic progress. The council unanimously adopted a Pakistan-sponsored resolution urging member states to use peaceful means for dispute settlement, but the resolution did not specifically mention Jammu and Kashmir. India reiterated its commitment to bilateralism and emphasized the need for zero tolerance towards terrorism in promoting international peace and security.
