India-Pak tensions: Pakistan says it has right to seek UNSC meeting

UNITED NATIONS: (May 2) Pakistan on Friday said it has a “right” to seek a meeting of the United Nations Security Council when “appropriate” as tensions heightened with India after the Pahalgam terror attack.

“We see that all of this that is happening is in the context, in the backdrop of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir,” Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad told a press conference here.

Ahmad was responding to a question on whether Pakistan is planning to ask for a meeting of the Security Council in the wake of rising tensions between India and Pakistan after the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that killed 26 people on April 22.
