India's representative in the First Committee of the UN General Assembly, in a firm speech about his country's nuclear capabilities, explicitly stated that nuclear weapons should never be considered a tool for governance. He strongly rejected Islamabad's claims regarding the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir and emphasized that New Delhi will never bow to Pakistan's nuclear blackmail.
The Defensive Nature of India's Nuclear Capabilities
The Indian representative further referred to the defensive nature of his country's nuclear capabilities and added that India has always sought peace and stability in the region, and its nuclear capabilities are solely for self-defense. He specifically mentioned security threats from Pakistan and urged the international community to pay more attention to these threats.

Rejection of Islamabad's Claims Regarding Jammu and Kashmir
In another part of his speech, the Indian representative addressed Pakistan's claims about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, calling them baseless and unrealistic. He emphasized the historical and international facts that show this region is part of Indian territory and that no developments in this regard can change this reality. He stated, "We are committed to our rights in this region and strongly reject any attempts to change the status quo."
These statements were made amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, especially regarding the Kashmir issue. In recent years, the two countries have been involved in military disputes several times, and the situation along their shared borders, particularly in mountainous and tense areas, has always been concerning.
India believes that Pakistan is seeking to create fear and insecurity in the region through the use of nuclear weapons, and for this reason, it needs to strengthen its defensive capabilities. The country has also emphasized the necessity of international cooperation to counter nuclear threats and has called for the global community's attention to this issue.
The remarks of India's representative at the UN General Assembly are interpreted as a serious warning to Pakistan and other countries regarding the use of nuclear weapons. India emphasizes that nuclear weapons should not become a tool for blackmail and threats, and countries with these capabilities must pay attention to their responsibilities towards global peace and security.
