‘Pakistan breeds terrorism': Indian diplomat's strong rebuttal at WHO goes viral
She further asserted, "Let us not forget the sponsors and organisers of terrorism operate from Pakistani soil. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, precise, proportionate and focused on the infrastructure of terror inside Pakistan."
Highlighting India's restraint, she added, "We took measures to ensure their civilians are neither targeted nor harmed. Rather, only the Pakistan-trained terrorists and their well-known hideouts."
"Pakistan also continues its false narrative regarding the Indus waters treaty, trying to obfuscate the issue."
Reinforcing her stance, she said, "A state that breeds terrorism cannot masquerade as its victims," she said.
A video of Anupama Singh's statement has gone viral on social media.
India has mounted a spirited campaign to highlight its resolve to confront state-sponsored terrorism emanating from Pakistan as multi-party delegations started reaching out to world capitals to assert its right to self-defence following Operation Sindoor.
Delegations led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Jha and Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde left for Japan and the UAE, respectively, to highlight Pakistan's policies of patronising terror outfits over the past few decades.
"Zero tolerance against terrorism," the ministry of external affairs said in a social media post as the delegations started departing for their visits.
The delegation led by Jha will also travel to South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore as part of India's outreach following Operation Sindoor and the subsequent conflict between India and Pakistan.

‘Ireland shaped by migration, shared spaces should not be poisoned by hate': Irish President on racist attacks on Indians
Irish President Michael D Higgins has reacted to the recent incident of racial attacks targeting members of the Indian community in Ireland. In a statement, President Higgins termed the recent incidents despicable and 'in stark contradiction to the values that we as a people hold dear.' Statement by President Michael D. Higgins on recent attacks on members of the Indian Community in Ireland — President of Ireland (@PresidentIRL) August 12, 2025 President Higgins also thanked the Indian community in Ireland for their services in various fields of life. 'We are all mindful of the immense contribution this community has made, and continues to make, to so many aspects of Irish life, in medicine, nursing, the caring professions, in cultural life, in business and enterprise, to cite just some. Their presence, their work, their culture, have been a source of enrichment and generosity to our shared life,' he said. Reflecting on the history of the country, President Higgins also recalled how migration shaped Ireland. 'Ireland has long been shaped by migration, both outward and inward. Those who left our shores carried our culture and values into faraway lands, often depending on the generosity of strangers,' he said.'That shared human experience should remain at the heart of how we treat those who have come to make their lives here. To forget that is to lose a part of ourselves,' he added. The Irish President also warned against the use of social media to spread messages of hate. 'Our shared spaces — including social media platforms — should never be poisoned from messages of hate or incitement to violence. Such messages not only target individuals, but also damage and corrode the most fundamental and enduring instincts of Irishness: those of hospitality, friendship, and care for others,' he said. A string of racially motivated attacks on Indians, including on a six-year-old girl who was punched in the face and hit in the genital area, had sent shock waves across the Indian community in Ireland. Condemning the racist attacks, the Irish Embassy in India said there was no place for racism and xenophobia in Ireland. Statement from Embassy New Delhi 📄 🇮🇪🇮🇳 — Irish Embassy India (@IrlEmbIndia) August 8, 2025 Ireland is home to around 80,000 people who trace their roots to India, including NRIs and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs). Indians have made their presence felt in Ireland's healthcare, information technology, engineering and other sectors.

Pakistan will not allow India to snatch ‘even one drop' of its water: PM Sharif
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said India would not be allowed to snatch 'even one drop' of water belonging to Pakistan, amid tensions between the two neighbours. A day after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, India took a series of punitive measures against Pakistan that included putting the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) of 1960 in 'abeyance'. Pakistan has repeatedly warned that any interference to stop the water would be treated as an act of war. 'I want to tell the enemy today that if you threaten to hold our water, then keep this in mind that you cannot snatch even one drop of Pakistan,' Prime Minister Sharif said while addressing a ceremony here. He warned that if India attempted such an act, 'you will be again taught such a lesson that you will be left holding your ears.' A day earlier, former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari termed the IWT's suspension an attack on the Indus Valley Civilisation and said the nation would not back down if New Delhi forced it into war. In an address to the Pakistani diaspora in Tampa, Florida, Army Chief Asim Munir reportedly said Islamabad would destroy any dam if it cut off water flow to Pakistan. 'We will wait for India to build a dam, and when they do so, we will destroy it,' he was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper. 'The Indus River is not the Indians' family property. We have no shortage of resources to undo the Indian designs to stop the river.' India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
