It’s a bitter farce that played out in New York on June 4, 2025. Pakistan—a country notorious for nurturing global jihadist networks—is now leading the UN Security Council’s Taliban Sanctions Committee and serving as vice-chair of the Counter-Terrorism Committee. This isn’t irony—it’s an indictment of the global system’s moral collapse.

India has repeatedly warned the world that no other nation shelters more UN-designated terrorists than Pakistan. Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, the Taliban—these aren’t rogue actors but state-sponsored proxies of Pakistan’s military establishment in Rawalpindi. Even Osama bin Laden was found hiding in a military town. The world looked away then, and now it hands Pakistan a seat at the high table of counter-terrorism.

Terrorism in Pakistan isn’t a bug—it’s a feature. A strategic tool of its military and intelligence elite used to exert influence abroad and maintain control at home. The Pakistan Army is no longer just a national force; it operates like a transnational criminal syndicate, cloaked in uniform.

The real disgrace lies with the UN itself. Institutions meant to uphold peace are now enabling its destroyers. When Pakistan chairs counter-terror panels, the message is loud and clear: global justice is broken—and hypocrisy rules.

Pakistan’s Sinister Money Laundering

A sinister pattern has taken root in South Asia. Whenever international aid flows into Pakistan, whether for disaster relief, economic recovery, or development, a predictable aftermath follows: a spike in terror activity orchestrated by Pakistan’s military-protected proxy groups. Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and others under newer, welfare-like aliases resurface with renewed vigour. This is not an accident. It is a direct consequence of systemic financial laundering by Pakistan’s military establishment, a process that diverts aid and investments into the bloodstream of jihad.

From Khaki to Kalashnikovs: A State-Run Laundromat

The international community continues to perceive Pakistan as a struggling, fragile state. But that narrative is dangerously obsolete. India must now recalibrate this global perception: Pakistan is not a fragile state—it is a militarised laundering syndicate that runs on global aid and converts it into bullets, bombs, and bloodshed.

The evidence is overwhelming. Pakistan’s military controls a massive share of the country’s........
