India Slams Pakistan at UN, Accuses It of Exporting Terror and Attacking Own Citizens

At a heated session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, Indian diplomat Kshitij Tyagi strongly rebuked Pakistan for what he described as a consistent misuse of international forums to spread falsehoods against India. Speaking under Agenda Item 4, Tyagi dismissed Islamabad’s remarks as “baseless and provocative,” stressing that Pakistan has long attempted to divert attention from its internal failures by targeting India.

The Indian representative accused Pakistan of being a hub of terrorism, alleging that it not only shelters UN-designated terrorists but also actively exports violence across its borders. He further charged that Islamabad has a record of carrying out airstrikes against its own civilians, pointing to recent attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. These strikes reportedly left at least 30 people dead, including women and children, with eyewitnesses describing destroyed buildings, burnt vehicles, and bodies being pulled from rubble.

Tyagi urged Pakistan to focus on addressing its collapsing economy and widespread human rights violations rather than attempting to malign India. He reiterated India’s longstanding position that Pakistan must vacate territories it occupies illegally and end its use of terrorism as state policy.

India also highlighted the importance of keeping the UNHRC mandate impartial, universal, and non-selective, cautioning against country-specific agendas that can undermine credibility. The remarks came amid growing international concern about Pakistan’s human rights situation, particularly in conflict-hit regions.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s own Human Rights Commission (HRCP) expressed shock over the civilian casualties in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and demanded accountability for the strikes. The incident has added to the scrutiny Islamabad faces globally, with New Delhi seizing the opportunity to emphasize its concerns over Pakistan’s domestic and cross-border policies.
