NEW YORK: Decrying the Indian disinformation campaign targetting Islamabad, a Pakistan diplomat on Tuesday drew the UN Human Rights Council’s (UNHRC) attention to New Delhi’s failure to respond to the gross rights violations in occupied Kashmir evoking international condemnation. 1/6: 🇵🇰 Right of Reply against 🇮🇳 today at #HRC46:As 🇵🇰 highlights 🇮🇳’s well-documented atrocities in #IIOJK, #HRC has yet to hear response from 🇮🇳- a country that claims to be world’s largest democracy but has shamelessly violated every human rights principle, norms and laws. The Indian representative, Pawan Badhe, had reacted to Pakistan Ambassador Khalil Hashmi’s speech in which the envoy had urged the UN rights chief to conduct an impartial investigation into Indian violations of human rights in the disputed region. Ambassador Hashmi had also made similar demands when he spoke on behalf of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). “No amount of empty rhetoric and dubious grandstanding can alter these hard facts,” Suleman said.
