Pakistan apprises UN about India’s failure to tackle HR abuses in IIOJ&K

NEW YORK (92 News) - Pakistan has drawn the UN Human Rights Council's (UNHRC) attention to New Delhi's failure to respond to the widely reported grave human rights abuses in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K) that evoked international condemnation.

Speaking at the Council, second secretary in the Pakistan Mission to the UN in Geneva, Junaid Suleman, said India has failed to hide its brutal repression of Kashmiri people behind the self-serving smokescreen of terrorism.

He made the remarks in exercise of his right of reply after an Indian representative made allegations about Pakistan's involvement in terrorism.

The Pakistani envoy said from forced conversion to arbitrary denial of citizenship rights, and from state-sanctioned communal violence to apartheid policies, the BJP-RSS regime has now codified the choice between extermination or total submission for India’s minorities.
