India Accuses Pakistan of Spreading Falsehoods at UNHRC India Criticizes Pakistan’s Claims at UNHRC, Calls It a Failed State
During the 58th Session of the UN Human Rights Council, Indian diplomat Kshitij Tyagi delivered a strong condemnation of Pakistan’s statements regarding Jammu and Kashmir, labeling them as “baseless and malicious.” He urged Pakistan to move past its fixation on India and focus on its own internal issues.
- Accusations Against Pakistan: Tyagi accused Pakistan of disseminating falsehoods propagated by its military-terrorist complex, undermining the credibility of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) by using it as a platform for its agenda.
- Progress in Jammu and Kashmir: He highlighted the significant political, social, and economic advancements in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, asserting that the region is an integral part of India.
- Human Rights Record: Tyagi emphasized that Pakistan has no authority to lecture others on human rights, given its own history of minority persecution and harboring UN-sanctioned terrorists.
- Call for Internal Focus: He urged Pakistan to address its governance failures and focus on providing justice to its citizens rather than fixating on India.
- Hypocrisy in Rhetoric: Tyagi described Pakistan as a “failed state” that thrives on instability and survives on international aid, criticizing its continued attempts to destabilize Jammu and Kashmir through terrorism.
This statement reflects India’s consistent position at international forums regarding Pakistan’s actions and its own commitment to democracy and progress.
