United Nations, May 6 -- The issue of escalating India-Pakistan tensions was discussed with concern at a closed-door meeting of the UN Security Council (UNSC) where Islamabad was asked tough questions, including about the role of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group in the Pahalgam attack, sources said.
The issue was taken up by the UNSC on Monday at the behest of Pakistan whose claim about the Pahalgam terror attack being a "false flag" operation by India was not accepted, the sources said.
Pakistan is currently a Non-Permanent Member of the UNSC since January 1 this year. The UNSC has five Permanent Members with Veto Power and 10 Non-Permanent Members, who are elected for a two-year term, with five seats changing every year.
