India called out Pakistan’s hypocrisy over human rights violations at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).

Speaking on India’s statement exercising its right of reply in response to the incessant misuse of UNHRC by Pakistan, Pawankumar Badhe, First Secretary, Permanent Mission of India to UN, said, “I am exercising India's right of reply in response to the incessant misuse of this Council by Pakistan for its fallacious & malicious propaganda against my country."

"As highlighted by various SRs and Civil Society Organizations, this Council must pay urgent attention to Pakistan’s deplorable human rights records and discriminatory treatment of its ethnic and religious minorities. According to victim groups, tens of thousands of persons have disappeared from Balochistan since 2000. Families of persons who have disappeared continue to struggle for their voices to be heard. Balochistan has now come to be known as the ‘land of disappeared’", he added.

“It is high time that Pakistan, which continues to export terrorism, is held accountable for its state-sponsored & supported the grave violation of human rights of its people. It is high time that the failed state of Pakistan stops preaching and focuses on its responsibility towards the millions suffering in Pakistan,” he further added.
