‘Epicentre of global terror shouldn’t lecture on human rights in J-K’: India’s response to Pakistan at UN

Hindustan Times  

Pakistan, the “epicentre of global terrorism”, shouldn’t lecture others on human rights issues in Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral part of India, a senior Indian diplomat told the UN Human Rights Council on Wednesday. Indian envoy Vikas Swarup refuted Pakistan’s allegations on human rights abuses in Kashmir during a session at UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva, Feb 24, 2020. Secretary Vikas Swarup was responding to Pakistan human rights minister Shireen Mazari’s allegations on Tuesday about rights abuses in Kashmir during a session of the UN body in Geneva. “It is more than a little ironical that a nation that has become the world’s leading exporter of terror and violence seeks to lecture others about human rights,” Swarup said about Mazari’s remarks on Kashmir.
