Geneva, Switzerland: At the seventh meeting of the 58th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), India in strong words attacked Pakistan, calling the country a “failed state” relying on international handouts to survive.
India’s Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva, Kshitij Tyagi, accused Pakistan of spreading falsehoods propagated by its military-terrorist complex, ridiculing the credibility of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) by using it as a 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,” Tyagi said in Geneva.

Continuing his response, India’s representative said that Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh will remain as a part of India. The progress and stability achieved in these areas will speak for itself, he added.
Tyagi also stressed that Pakistan had credibility to speak on human rights or democracy, considering its own record of minority persecution, human rights abuses, and harbouring of terrorists sanctioned by the United Nations.
“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. Instead of its unhealthy obsession with India, Pakistan should focus on providing actual governance and justice to its own people,” he added.

The Indian convoy added that Pakistan must get rid of its “unhealthy obsession” with India and focus on proving “actual governance and justice” to its citizens.
The current remark followed a strong statement made by India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish on February 19. While delivering India’s statement at the Open Debate at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), Harish reaffirmed that Jammu and Kashmir is and will always remain an integral part of India.
