India tells UN Pakistan trained terrorists behind Kashmiri Pandit exodus

India has told the United Nations that Pakistan trained the terrorists who forced Kashmiri Pandits to leave the Kashmir Valley, according to reports published by The Times of India and Wion on 25 September 2026.

The Times of India carried the story under a headline stating that Kashmiri Pandits were driven out by Pakistan-backed terrorists. Wion's headline reported that India, in its UN address, said Pakistan trained the terrorists who forced Kashmiri Pandits to leave the valley.

The Times of India filed its report at 03:14 UTC on 25 September 2026, according to the publication timestamp. Wion's report appeared the same day, though its exact filing time was not available.

Both outlets attributed the statement to India's address at the United Nations. The published headlines and standfirsts, which are the only parts of the reports available to Skardu Times, did not include a response from Pakistan, the name of the Indian official who made the statement, or the specific UN forum where it was delivered.

The reports did not indicate whether India presented fresh evidence for the allegation, named specific militant groups, or provided a timeline for the training it alleged. They also did not state whether the accusation was part of a formal statement, a right of reply, or a social media post by India's UN mission.

The allegation renews India's claim, previously made in various international forums, that Pakistan is responsible for the violence that led to the displacement of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley. The two outlets did not include independent verification of the claim.

Skardu Times could not independently confirm India's statement, and no Pakistani response was available in the material reviewed. The newspaper will seek a response from Pakistan's foreign ministry and update the story if one is received.
