Pakistan has leveled serious allegations against India at the United Nations, asserting that hateful political rhetoric and discriminatory laws targeting minorities, particularly Muslims, have been embraced as official state policy in the country.
According to a report by MOIB today, the strong condemnation came from Counsellor Saima Salim while addressing an Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues in the Third Committee. She specifically cited discriminatory citizenship laws, assaults on places of worship, and calls for genocide as part of this alleged state-sanctioned approach, according to a report by MOIB.
Salim”s remarks were part of a broader expression of grave concern over what she described as a rising global tide of Islamophobia, intolerance, and right-wing extremism that endangers minority communities worldwide. She highlighted the weaponization of religion for political ends and the systematic marginalization of Muslims in some regions as deeply alarming developments that demand international attention.
Concluding her statement, the counsellor affirmed that Pakistan would persist in its constructive role to foster understanding, dialogue, and peaceful co-existence among different faiths and cultures on the world stage.
