The issue of Balochistan has figured significantly at the recent UNHRC (The United Nations Human Rights Council) session.

NEW DELHI: India has lashed out at Pakistan saying it is the “face of international terrorism” and that its agency Inter-Services Intelligence is carrying out atrocities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as well as Balochistan.

Tearing into Pakistan for its current statement on Kashmir at the UN Human Rights Council meeting, India on Monday said, “Pakistan’s unsolicited and unjustifiable comments pertaining to the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir are accurately false and absolutely ambiguous. We out exactly refuse them.”

Exercising India’s ‘right of reply’ to Pakistan’s statement, Vishnu Reddy, a diplomat from India’s Permanent Mission of India in Geneva, spelt out the biggest challenge faced by the region. “The foremost challenge to the stability of 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,” he said.

Reddy hit back at Pakistan by highlighting the issues of Pakistan-backed terrorism in Kashmir and human rights violations in Balochistan, something that India has been increasingly raising at international platforms since Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to it in his Independence Day address last year.

“Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is run by a ‘deep state’ and has become an epicentre of terrorism. Its (Pakistan’s) human rights record in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Baluchistan is deplorable,” Reddy said.
