Pak is world’s terror factory: India
In retaliation to Islamabad’s claims on the situation of minorities in India at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, India lashed out at Pakistan and described it as the “world’s terrorism factory”, adding that it must “rein in its compulsive hostility”.
New Delhi also said that the only thing minorities in Pakistan “have are blasphemy laws and relentless abuse and violation of their human rights”.
In its “right of reply” in response to the statement made by Pakistan, India said Pakistan’s continued support for terror groups operating in Jammu and
Kashmir is the main challenge to protecting the human rights of Indian citizens in the state.
Pakistan’s selective approach in tackling terror groups operating outside Pakistan and within, despite the numerous
solemn promises made, underscores the continuing unwillingness to acknowledge the truth. Terrorism is the grossest violation of human rights and should be so acknowledged by any impartial and objective observer, New Delhi added.
“Apart from becoming the world’s terrorism factory, Pakistan has also alienated its own people through continued mistreatment of Hindus, Christians, Shias, Ahmadiyas and other minorities. In this council, Pakistan has referred to situation of minorities in India. Minorities in India have been Prime Ministers, Presidents, vice-presidents, senior Cabinet ministers, senior civil servants, cricket team captains and Bollywood superstars. Can the minorities of Pakistan claim even a shadow of this? All they have are blasphemy laws and relentless abuse and violation of their human rights,” New Delhi added.
