India Accuses Pakistan of Constitutional Coup
India recently spoke at the United Nations and said that Pakistan's military is trying to take control of the government.
They said this is a 'constitutional coup' because Pakistan's leaders gave a top general, Asim Munir, special powers and protection for life.
This happened while there is already tension between India and Pakistan, especially after something called Operation Sindoor.
India thinks this is not fair and spoke about it in front of important world leaders.
India accused Pakistan of a 'constitutional coup' at the UN Security Council.
Pakistan granted its top general, Asim Munir, lifetime legal immunity.
India claims this move subverts constitutional governance in Pakistan.
The remarks were made amid rising tensions following Operation Sindoor.
This diplomatic sparring occurred at the United Nations.
