'Pakistan gives birth to terrorism': Know Anupama Singh, the Indian diplomat who exposed Islamabad’s lies

Anupama Singh, an Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, has gone viral after delivering a scathing rebuttal to Pakistan during a session at the World Health Organization (WHO) headquarters in Geneva.

Anupama exercised India’s right of reply and lambasted Pakistan, by saying, "Pakistan breeds terrorism, cannot masquerade as its victim."

“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,” she added.

Regarding Operation Sindoor, Anupama said, “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. A state that breeds terrorism cannot masquerade as its victims," she said.

She also asserted that, “The entire Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh is an integral and inalienable part of India, and the constitutional measures taken by the Government of India to ensure socio-economic development and good governance in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir are matters internal to India. Pakistan has no locus standi to pronounce on matters that are internal to India.”

“Pakistan is also fabricating false stories about the Indus Water Treaty and is trying to complicate the matter,” she added.
