Pakistan strongly criticised India at the United Nations Security Council, accusing New Delhi of sponsoring terrorism, persecuting minorities, occupying Jammu and Kashmir by force, and breaching international law.
Delivering a right of reply during the UNSC annual debate on the protection of civilians, Saima Saleem, Counsellor on Human Rights for Pakistan’s Permanent Mission to the UN, said India had appeared before the Council “wearing the mask of a victim,” adding that the international community could now see “the face behind that mask.”
During the session, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Harish Parvathaneni, accused Pakistan of failing to uphold international humanitarian obligations and targeting civilians. He also repeated allegations linked to the Afghan Taliban regarding an alleged attack on a hospital in Kabul earlier this year.
