Why does Pakistan get away with sponsoring terrorism against India? A damning report reveals the culprit: international inaction, particularly from a powerless UN committee that lets terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed operate freely.
Published Saturday in Eurasia Review, ex-Army officer Nilesh Kunwar’s analysis dissects the UN’s 1267 Sanctions Monitoring Committee’s latest 37th report. It connects banned JeM to two horrific 2025 attacks—the Pahalgam killings on April 22 and the deadly suicide car bombing near Delhi’s Red Fort on November 9. The report also flags JeM’s women-only wing, Jamaat-ul-Muminat, designed for global jihad.
But here’s the outrage: the UN merely parrots India’s observations without probe or rebuke, calling it a ‘paper tiger’ reliant on unverified feedback. This passivity, Kunwar contends, boosts Pakistan’s audacity in waging proxy wars.
Flashback to Operation Sindoor: India’s precision airstrikes on JeM’s Bahawalpur hub last May 7 left it in ruins, with infighting reports surfacing soon after. Azhar’s confession of family losses proves JeM’s defiance of UN bans—it’s alive, kicking, and expanding in Pakistan.
Closer to home, a November bust in Faridabad exposed JeM’s sophisticated module at Al-Falah University, run by professionals including doctors. Their Red Fort bomb plot on November 10 screams ongoing threats.
Kunwar prescribes a multi-pronged Indian strategy: beef up counter-terror systems, pair military action with non-kinetic tools like sanctions and info warfare to make Pakistan pay dearly. Though feeble, UN reports still arm India’s diplomacy, shredding Islamabad’s lies about JeM’s demise.
The global hush must break. Until bodies like the UN wield real power, Pakistan’s proxy menace will haunt South Asia, demanding India’s unwavering vigilance and smarter countermeasures.
