Concealment of malfeasance goes wrong for Pakistan

Intensely consumed by the recent surfacing of the honor killings allegations, the delegate of Pakistan resorted to veiling their malfeasance.
" Honor killing is a sin in Pakistan. Even stated by some traditions in the country, there are statements noting that laws made by Allah should not be interfered with." The delegates of Pakistan first defended themselves. "Being Karo-Kari is haram and being haram where Karo stands for a man and Kari stands for a woman who is blackened which is a sin that Allah does not forgive."
The blame game between the delegate of India and the delegate of Pakistan continued as the delegate of India accused the delegate of Pakistan of being racist and using offensive words like Karo-Kari which states black people are sinners.
Afterward, the delegate of Pakistan inquired about the knowledge of the delegate of India, "The delegate of Pakistan is not questioning or stating any discrimination against people of color. Rather Karo-Kari is a metaphoric emphasis for the people who have been involved in illicit relationships outside of their marriage."
Showing support for the delegate of Pakistan, the delegate of the USA directed their query at the delegate of India on their contributions in the case of women's rights and their voices. The delegate of India responded by highlighting its laws safeguarding women's dignity, addressing domestic violence, and advocating for voting rights.
"Rather than blaming Pakistan, the delegate of India should focus on their condition. There have been numerous rises in cases of honor killings in the delegate's country." voiced Russia, offering support to Pakistan's stance.
Attempting to pave a cooperative path, the delegate of India suggested collaboration with other nations to find solutions.
However, the delegate of Pakistan countered with a pointed argument, "A man cannot be convicted if they have sex without the permission of a woman, so the law of marital rape does not apply in India. In this condition, how can the delegate's country be in a position to resolve these violations of primary rights by collaborating with other countries?"
As the tension poached, a new crisis update emerged, warning that unless India and Pakistan resolved their issues, their allies would withdraw their support. The situation promised to keep delegates on their toes as discussions unfold in the coming sessions of the TES MUN.
