Geneva: India's first secretary in the United Nations Mission Pawan Badhe has fiercely slammed Pakistan for its promotion and protection of human rights in Geneva. He has said in his statement that Pakistan has a poor record on promotion and protection of human rights of its people. Pakistan has one of the worst records in ensuring the right to freedom of religion or belief for its minorities. He said that Pakistan has again misused the platform offered by this prestigious council to spread propaganda against India.

Pawan Badhe, First Secretary, Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, further said that we reject the factually incorrect and inappropriate references to India in the statement of the Organization of Islamic Council (OIC). "We regret that the member states of the Organization of Islamic Council failed to stop the OIC platform for anti-India propaganda to Pakistan," he said. He also said that however, we have close relations with the member countries of the OIC.

Pawan Badhe, First Secretary, Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations in Geneva, said that my delegation rejects the baseless statements. They don't deserve our response. He said that in the past the top leadership in Pakistan has been openly giving shelter to terrorist groups to form and train them to spread terror in Afghanistan and India's Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. This misadventure of Pakistan against the human rights of the people of India is more dangerous.

Pawan Badhe further slammed Pakistan in the United Nations and said that we urge the Organization of Islamic Council and its member Islamic countries to give Pakistan a mandate to end government-sponsored terrorism and eliminate terrorist infrastructure in the areas under its control. Build pressure to take credible action. He said that Pakistan has a poor record on promotion and protection of human rights of its people. Pakistan has one of the worst records in ensuring the right to freedom of religion or belief for its minorities.
