Pakistan has leveled serious accusations against India at the United Nations, citing a horrifying “catalogue of crimes” in Jammu and Kashmir, including mass graves, enforced disappearances, and sexual violence, while demanding an end to what it termed as Indian “state terrorism” in the disputed region.
The sharp remarks were delivered by Counsellor Gul Qaiser Sarwani during a United Nations Security Council open debate on Saturday . He was responding to comments made by an Indian delegate at the session focused on “The United Nations Organization: Looking into the Future”.
Sarwani asserted that Jammu and Kashmir remains the “bleeding wound of South Asia,” calling it an internationally recognized disputed territory whose truth cannot be altered by sophistry. He reminded the council that it was India that initially brought the matter to the UN and pledged to hold a UN-supervised plebiscite.
The Pakistani diplomat contended that India has since reneged on every commitment, opting instead to deploy nine hundred thousand troops to control the populace, creating what he described as “the densest military occupation of our time.”
Further detailing the allegations, Sarwani mentioned custodial killings, demographic engineering, and total media blackouts as part of the ongoing situation in the Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Concluding his statement, Sarwani claimed that the “fascist ideology of Hindutva” has transformed India into the “world”s largest factory of hate,” and called on the nation to abide by its obligations under international law, including the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir.
