Geneva: India has but once more proven a mirror to its neighbouring Pakistan on the world stage by cementing its place on the difficulty of Jammu and Kashmir. Exercising the ‘Right of Reply’ on the High-Level Segment of the fifty fifth Regular Session of the UN Human Rights Council on Wednesday, First Secretary Anupama Singh stated that relating to Pakistan’s prolonged mentions of India, it is rather regrettable that the Council’s discussion board has as soon as once more been abused to propagate flagrantly false accusations about India.
“With regard to the extensive references to India made by Pakistan, we note that it is deeply unfortunate for the Council’s platform to have once again been misused to make patently false allegations against India,” she stated.
“The entire Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh is an integral and inalienable part of India, and the constitutional measures taken by the Government of India to ensure socio-economic development and good governance in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir are matters internal to India. Pakistan has no locus standi to pronounce on matters that are internal to India,” she added.
“Truly abysmal”
Terming Pakistan’s human rights document as “truly abysmal,” the First Secretary stated, “A country that has institutionalized the systemic persecution of its own minorities and has a truly abysmal human rights record, commenting on India, which is demonstrably making great strides in achieving economic progress and social justice, is not merely ironical but perverse.”
“A glaring example was the large-scale brutality perpetrated against the minority Christian community in Jaranwala city, Pakistan in August 2023, when 19 churches were gutted and 89 Christian houses burnt down. Three, a country that hosts and even celebrates UNSC-sanctioned terrorists, commenting on India whose pluralistic ethos and democratic credentials are exemplars for the world, is a contrast for everyone to see,” she stated additional.
Singh additionally stated that the federal government has didn’t serve the precise pursuits of its residents, and added that Pakistan sponsors terrorism around the globe. “We cannot pay any further attention to a country that speaks while being soaked in red the red of the bloodshed from the terrorism it sponsors around the world; the red of its debt-riddled national balance sheets; and the red of the shame its own people feel for their government having failed to serve their actual interests,” she concluded.
