India exposes Pakistan again at #UNHRC; says 'It is face of international terrorism and human rights violator'

New York, September 19: Exercising right to reply at the UN Geneva, India stated that Pakistan has been the face of international terrorism and that even the country's Foreign Minister confessed that banned terror outfits operate from within Pakistan.

Indian Foreign Service (IFS) Officer Dr. Vishnu Reddy said “Pakistan has been misusing this august platform to pursue its perverse political objectives. In the wake of growing international concern, Pakistan must shut down its terrorist manufacturing units and bring the perpetrators of terrorism to justice.”

“Concrete evidence on cross-border support for the terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir has been handed over to Pakistan. Instead of working with a sense of purpose to address these issues, Pakistan resorts to shortsighted tactics of diverting the attention of this Council, as we have once again seen today.”

“The foremost challenge to the stability in Kashmir and in the region is the scourge of terrorism. Pakistan’s malicious attempt to hide its interference behind the facade of domestic discontent carries no credibility with the world," Reddy said.

Reddy further apprised that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have chosen and reaffirmed their destiny repeatedly through India's well-established democratic processes. On the otherhand, POK is run by a ‘deep state’ and has become an epicenter of terrorism. Its human rights record in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir and Baluchistan is deplorable. Pakistan is known for using air-power and artillery against its own people, not once but repeatedly over the years.

“It is high time for Pakistan to do some deep introspection and focus its energies on improving the human rights situation and dismantling the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and POK. This would go a long way in bringing peace and stability to the region and beyond," he added.
