The United Nations Human Rights Council at Geneva witnessed a heated confrontation on September 11, with India accusing Pakistan of protecting militant organizations as it sought to bring up the human rights issue. The Indian delegation mentioned the years-long stay of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad and the 1995 Pahalgam attack as the justification of the double standards conception of terrorism in Pakistan.
Pakistan denied the accusations terming them as politically instigated. The debate underscored the widening divide between the two nuclear neighbours, making the world notice the never-ending security and diplomatic crises in South Asia.
