JAMMU: BJP Spokesperson for J&K UT, Gaurav Gupta, hailed the strong endorsement from United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric on the urgent need to reform the UN Security Council, recognizing India as a pivotal force in the multilateral system.

Speaking on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric categorically stated “India is a very important part of the UN system. They are a great supporter of multilateralism. The Secretary General has very good relations with the Indian government. We have a lot of Indian colleagues who work here with us. India is an important voice within the UN system.”

Gupta said, “This is not just an appreciation—it is a global acknowledgement of India’s rising stature. The Secretary-General himself has made it clear that the UNSC must reflect the world of 2025, not remain trapped in the realities of 1945. India’s permanent membership is no longer a matter of debate, but a necessity for global fairness and representation.”

He further added that under the dynamic leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, India has emerged as a voice of the Global South, a trusted partner in global diplomacy, and a strong pillar of international stability. “The world today looks to India not just as the largest democracy but as a nation that stands for fairness, inclusivity, and global peace.”

Gupta also commended External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, who has reiterated in Parliament that securing a permanent seat for India in the UNSC remains a top priority. “This recognition from the UN leadership validates India’s credentials—our contributions to peacekeeping, our strong democratic values, and our leadership in climate action and sustainable development,” he said.

At the ongoing UNGA, India also presented its pioneering steps to tackle climate change, including Heat Action Plans, digital early-warning systems, and affordable cooling solutions. “This reflects India’s readiness to not only lead at home but also share solutions with the Global South, strengthening our role as a global problem-solver,” Gupta highlighted.

“India is not asking for favours; India is demanding what is just, fair, and reflective of today’s global realities. The world of 2025 deserves a reformed UNSC, and India’s permanent membership is central to that vision,” Gupta concluded.
