India Criticizes Pakistan at UNSC
India spoke at the United Nations Security Council and criticized Pakistan for jailing former Prime Minister Imran Khan and giving too much power to the military.
India said Pakistan is not respecting the will of its people by imprisoning a former leader and passing a new law that gives the military chief lifetime immunity.
The new law, called the 27th Amendment, also changes the military and judicial systems.
India also rejected Pakistan's claims about Jammu and Kashmir, saying Pakistan is too focused on harming India.
India also said it would no longer follow the Indus Waters Treaty because Pakistan supports terrorism.
Imran Khan's party says he is being treated badly in jail, and there are concerns about his treatment.
Pakistan says it wants peace but India does not agree.
India criticized Pakistan at the UNSC for jailing former PM Imran Khan and granting lifetime immunity to its military chief through the 27th Amendment.
India rejected Pakistan's claims over Jammu and Kashmir, calling them unwarranted and reflective of Pakistan's focus on harming India.
India announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, citing Pakistan's support for terrorism and violations of the treaty's spirit.
Imran Khan's party alleges he is subjected to degrading treatment in prison.
Pakistan called India's suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty a breach of international obligations and reiterated its claims over Jammu and Kashmir.
