At the UN Human Rights Council, India denounced Pakistan as a “failed state” reliant on aid. Indian diplomat Kshitij Tyagi slammed Pakistan’s “military-terrorist complex” for spreading misinformation
Geneva. India on February 26, slammed Pakistan at the seventh meeting of the 58th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and described the country as a “failed state” that survives on international aid.
In a scathing critique at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), India described Pakistan as a “failed state” that thrives on instability and survives on international handouts. This strong rebuke was delivered by Kshitij Tyagi, India’s Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva, in response to Pakistan’s allegations of human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir.
It came after Pakistani law minister Azam Nazeer Tarar made allegations of human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir. India’s Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva Kshitij Tyagi accused Pakistan of spreading falsehoods dictated by its military.
Tyagi said,”… It is regrettable to see Pakistan’s leaders and delegates continuing to spread falsehoods handed down by its military terrorist complex. Pakistan is making a mockery of the OIC by abusing it as its mouthpiece… It is unfortunate that this Council’s time continues to be wasted by a failed state which thrives on instability and survives on international handouts.
Its rhetoric reeks of hypocrisy, its actions of inhumanity and its governance of incompetence. India remains focused on democracy, progress and ensuring dignity for its people. Values that Pakistan would do well to learn from…”, he added.
Tyagi accused Pakistan’s leadership of spreading falsehoods dictated by its military and criticized the country for misusing international platforms to push anti-India rhetoric while failing to address its own domestic crises.
Tyagi further slammed Pakistan’s human rights record, highlighting its persecution of minorities and the erosion of democratic values. He accused Pakistan of providing a safe haven for UN-sanctioned terrorists and asserted that the country is in no position to lecture others on governance or human rights.
India emphasised that the Pakistan’s actions are marked by hypocrisy and inhumanity, and its governance is characterized by incompetence. Mr. Tyagi highlighted the significant political, social, and economic progress in Jammu and Kashmir, contrasting it with Pakistan’s claims of unrest.
He reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are integral parts of India, pointing out that Pakistan’s own track record of human rights abuses and harbouring UN-sanctioned terrorists disqualifies it from lecturing others on these issues.
The Indian envoy urged Pakistan to focus on providing governance and justice to its own people rather than obsessing over India. This statement followed a similar assertion by India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, who reaffirmed that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India.
The exchange reflects the ongoing tensions and historical complexities between India and Pakistan, which have been exacerbated by disputes over Kashmir and other political issues.
