‘Deeply Ironic’: India Condemns Pakistan’s Human Rights Rhetoric At UNHRC | India News

India sharply criticized Pakistan for calling the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) as hypocrisy, and accused Islamabad of teaching to others about human rights while failing to deal with his own violations. Speaking at the 34th meeting of the 60th UNHRC session in Geneva on Wednesday, the Indian diplomat Muhammad Hussain called Pakistan to face the persecution of minorities within their borders.

Hussain finds deeply ironic that a country like India and Pakistan tries to teach human rights. Pakistan should face the persecution of minorities in their lands instead of spreading propaganda. ”

Following a tragic incident in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa state, Pakistan, at least 24 civilians, including women and children, lost their lives after an explosion in a compound connected to Pakistani Taliban.

Police officials reported that there are explosive materials stored in the compound exploded in the Matur Dara region of the Khyber Region of the Tirah Valley, which limits Afghanistan. However, local residents insisted that the explosion was caused by air strikes.
