File Photo: A group of protesters this July gathered at UN headquarters in Geneva during the 44th session of UNHRC to highlight the plight of Hindus in Pakistan.
Geneva: At UNHRC, India on Monday slammed Pakistan by stating that Pakistan is known as the “killing field” for the minorities.
India attacked Islamabad by saying the nation has “institutionalised” enforced disappearance as a tool of “subjugation against dissent and criticism”, adding that the country remains a safe harbour for terrorists.
In a right to reply to the statement made by Pakistan in the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), India highlighted that there are three outsiders for every four in Pakistan occupied parts of Indian Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, reports ANI.
Civil, political and constitutional rights are non-existent in Pakistan occupied parts of Indian Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, deliberate economic policies have also subjugated them to a life of extreme poverty. A simple demand for land rights could lead to imprisonment for 40 years as has been the fate for political activists such as Baba Jan and others, the new agency reported.
Indian diplomat Pawan Badhe was quoted as saying by ANI: "In contrast, full-scale training camps and launchpads of terrorists are being escalated in Pakistan occupied parts of Indian Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh at great expense for sustaining cross border terrorism against India."
