In a forceful address at the high-level segment of the 58th Regular Session of the UN Human Rights Council, India vehemently countered Pakistan’s recurring allegations regarding Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian delegation, led by Counsellor Kshitij Tyagi, denounced Pakistan’s remarks as “baseless” and “malicious,” accusing its counterpart of habitually echoing discredited narratives propagated by its military establishment.

Addressing the international gathering, Tyagi asserted that Pakistan’s leadership had once again exploited the forum to disseminate “falsehoods handed down by its military-terrorist complex.” He contended that Pakistan’s persistent focus on the Jammu and Kashmir issue was not only unproductive but a deliberate attempt to divert attention from its own domestic shortcomings.
