Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed readiness for "meaningful dialogue" with India, even as New Delhi insists on a focus on PoK and ending cross-border terrorism.

India condemned Pakistan's cross-border terrorism at the UN, highlighting its own democratic progress while rejecting international mediation on Kashmir.

PM Modi is likely to intervene during the discussion on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack, with Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha set to hold 16-hour debates each on the issues next week.
