Report Flags Pakistan Proxy War, Urges India Action

A report published in a US-based independent journal has claimed that a lack of strong international response has allowed Pakistan to continue what it described as “proxy warfare” against India.

The article, published in Eurasia Review, argues that India should continue highlighting Pakistan’s alleged links with proscribed terror groups at global forums.

Claims on UN Monitoring Mechanism

The report refers to the United Nations Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team of the Security Council’s 1267 Sanctions Committee. It describes the body as limited in its powers, stating that it relies on inputs from member states and does not independently verify or enforce action.

According to the article, the committee’s recent report mentioned the Pakistan-based group Jaish-e-Mohammad in connection with certain incidents in 2025. However, it reportedly noted that these references were based on information provided by a member state.

The journal article claims that such wording avoids a direct endorsement of the allegations by the UN body itself.

Allegations and Counterclaims

The report further alleges that Pakistan has denied the continued activity of certain banned organisations. It refers to past public statements by Pakistani officials regarding the health and presence of Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar.

Pakistan has previously rejected allegations of supporting terrorism and has maintained that it is committed to counter-terrorism efforts.

Call for Stronger Measures

The article suggests that India should adopt a more proactive diplomatic strategy, including what it calls a “name and shame” approach to raise awareness internationally.

It also recommends strengthening domestic anti-terror mechanisms and considering both military and non-military measures to address security threats.

The report emphasises that global pressure and sustained diplomatic engagement could play a role in shaping accountability mechanisms.

As of now, there has been no official response from Pakistani authorities to the specific claims mentioned in the journal article.
