India lambasts Pakistan at UNHRC over its interference in Kashmir

Geneva: Vimarsh Aryan, first secretary, Permanent Mission of India to UNOG in Geneva, Switzerland during Right of Reply (RoR) raised issues pertaining to Pakistan and stated that Pak delegation is raising false and fabricated concerns for the rights of human rights defenders. “The biggest threat to the human rights of our people including defenders in J&K comes from the pernicious cradle of global terrorism which is Pakistan & whose top leadership has openly acknowledged the same,” said the first secretary. He further added, “This Council is responsible for promotion and protection of all human rights universally. However, ironically, what we heard from Pakistani delegation was an attempt to polarise and politicize this august forum. Pakistani delegation is raising false and fabricated concerns for the rights of human rights defenders elsewhere, however, unfortunately, legitimate human rights defenders in Pakistan are bearing the brunt of real draconian laws, as we speak.”
