India reprimanded Pak in UNHRC, said - there is no need to take lessons of human rights from those who spread terrorism

Geneva: In the 51st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), India has once again strongly reprimanded Pakistan on the issue of terrorism. India strongly condemned the brutality being meted out to minorities in Pakistan, saying that the world does not need to take lessons from such democracy and human rights, which have played an important role in spreading terrorism across the world.

India's Permanent Mission to the United Nations Seema Pujari said, "It is ironic that Pakistan is a country whose foundation was laid on communal ideologies and which talks of communal disharmony and religious intolerance." The world does not need lessons on democracy and human rights from a country that has played a vital role in spreading terrorism across the world.

In response to the statement made by Pakistan, Indian diplomat Seema Pujari said that it is in this passion of puritanism that Pakistan has started systematic persecution of its own minorities including Shias, Ahmadiyyas, Ismailis and Hazaras. There is daily communal violence and systemic discrimination against minorities. He said the abductions, forced conversions and forced marriages of Hindus, Sikhs and Christians are fitting examples of Pakistan's flourishing policy of religious intolerance and hatred. He further said that kidnappings, government-sponsored violence and forced mass displacements, persecution, extra-judicial killings, military operations and torture, murder and dump camps in Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, military camps are rampant.

Seema Pujari slammed Pakistan for kidnapping thousands of Balochs and Pashtuns, saying that till date no one knows the fate of thousands of Balochs and Pashtuns missing. It has consistently failed to meet the global demand to eliminate the terror factory in Pakistan. On the contrary, he gives shelter to terrorists. He said that Pakistan under our rule and people across the world are responsible for violating human rights, the most fundamental right of life.

Describing Pakistan as a victim of his government's policies to nurture terrorist organisations, he said that countries in the region face danger due to Pakistan's support to terrorism. As a major center of terrorism, Pakistan poses a threat to the security of countries in the region and beyond. Even when terrorists thrive in Pakistan and roam its streets fearlessly.
