New Delhi: India gave a firm response to Pakistan at the World Health Organisation (WHO), strongly criticising its support for terrorism. Speaking at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Indian diplomat Anupama Singh exercised India’s right of reply, stating, “Pakistan breeds terrorism, cannot masquerade as its victim.”
She added, “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.”
Pointing to India’s calculated response and restraint, she underlined, “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,” the diplomat asserted. She blasted Pakistan, stating, “A state that breeds terrorism cannot masquerade as its victims.”
Video goes viral
A video of Anupama Singh’s statement has fast gone viral on social media.
At least India still knows what must be done.
Indian diplomat Anupama Singh at the WHO laid it out clearly:
Terrorists trained in Pakistan murdered 26 innocent Indian tourists in front of their families.
The organizers operate openly from Pakistani soil.

Anupama Singh has been a diplomat in the Indian Foreign Service for more than nine years. Before entering the IFS, she was with KPMG from 2012 to 2014, where she started as a consultant and was later promoted to Senior Consultant.
India has launched a strong campaign to highlight its determination to fight state-sponsored terrorism originating from Pakistan. As part of this effort, multi-party delegations have started engaging with world capitals to reaffirm India’s right to self-defence in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. The first delegation of MPs set off for Japan and another for UAE on Wednesday.
As the delegations started leaving for their visits, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a post on X: “Zero tolerance against terrorism.”
