Pakistan is a failed state and epicentre of terrorism: India at UNHRC

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Calling “Pakistan a failed state” and “epicentre of global terrorism,” India has slammed Pakistan at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), Geneva, in its Right to Reply.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Pakistan, the epicentre of global terrorism and a strong proponent of mono-ethnic cultural and mono-ethnic dominance, is violating every single international treaty and declaration on human rights as we speak,” Vimarsh Aryan, First Secretary, said.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Pakistan as a state is a threat not only to the religious and ethnic minorities within Pakistan but in the illegally occupied territories of India, but, if left unchecked by the international community, Pakistan will also grow into a threat to international peace and harmony, he said.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The mala fide intent that drives Pakistani deep state is in total contradiction to the objectives and principles that we all have gathered to promote, in this temple of human rights, Aryan said.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Exercising India's Right of Reply in response to the "mendacious statement" delivered by Pakistan at the UNHRC, Aryan said, “It is very unfortunate to witness incessant and insensible ranting by Pakistan on issues that are extraneous to the mandate of this Council and which relate to the internal affairs of India. Pakistan’s sole objective as a member of this Council is to distract the attention of the international community from serious human rights violations committed by it against its own people, and in Indian territories occupied by it."</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Indian envoy also pointed out that Pakistan's charade of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds was hard to miss. “Pakistan is a failed state with no regard for values and culture of democracy and noted that its shenanigan of running with the hare and hunting with the hound was hard to miss.”</p>
“It is very unfortunate to witness incessant and insensible ranting by Pakistan on issues that are extraneous to the mandate of this Council and which relate to the internal affairs of India,” the Indian envoy said.

He also said extraordinary times of pandemic when everyone is putting on a mask for the safety and protection of fellow human beings, Pakistan "unfortunately is using another kind of pernicious mask to masquerade as a champion of human rights that it itself violates egregiously by torturing and persecuting minorities."

Aryan said the deep state of Pakistan pretends to speak for the rights of human beings but unleashes state-sponsored cross-border terrorism against it and ruthlessly targets innocent lives..
