India’s Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva Kshitij Tyagi.
This development occurred at the seventh meeting of the 58th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.
India on Thursday slammed Pakistan for continuing to spread falsehood against New Delhi on the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
Describing Pakistan as a “failed state” that relies on international aid to survive, India’s Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva, Kshitij Tyagi accused the Pakistani leadership of perpetuating falsehoods dictated by its military.
“It is regrettable to see Pakistan’s leaders and delegates continuing to spread falsehoods handed down by its military terrorist complex,” Kshitij Tyagi said. The Indian diplomat’s remarks came in response to Pakistani Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar’s allegations of human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir.
He launched a scathing attack on Islamabad for misusing international platforms to push anti-India rhetoric while failing to address its own domestic crises.
“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,” the Indian diplomat said.
Reiterating India’s stand, Kshitij Tyagi said the UTs of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are and will remain integral parts of India. He pointed to the significant development and stability achieved in these regions in recent years, in contrast to Pakistan's claims of unrest.
The unprecedented political, social and economic progress in J&K in the past few years speaks for itself, he said, while emphasizing that these successes are a testament to the people's trust in the government's commitment to bring normalcy to a region scarred by decades of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
“As a country where human rights abuses, persecution of minorities and systematic erosion of democratic values constitute state policies and which brazenly harbours UN-sanctioned terrorists, Pakistan is in no position to lecture anyone,” the Indian diplomat said.
He said Pakistan has no credibility to speak on human rights or democracy, given its own track record of persecution of minorities, suppression of political dissent, and harbouring of internationally sanctioned terrorists.
“Instead of its unhealthy obsession with India, Pakistan should focus on providing actual governance and justice to its own people. 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 said.
Earlier on February 19 by India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish hit Pakistan during an Open Debate at the UNSC. “The Deputy PM and Foreign Minister of Pakistan have referred to an integral and inalienable part of India, the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, in his remarks. I would like to reaffirm that the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has been, is, and will always be, an integral and inalienable part of India,” India’s Permanent Representative to the UN P Harish said, while slamming Pakistan during an Open Debate at the UNSC.
