During the 55th Human Rights Council of the United Nations, India exercised its ‘Right to Reply’, delivering a firm response to Pakistan and Turkey regarding their remarks on Jammu and Kashmir. India’s First Secretary at the UN Human Rights Council, Anupama Singh, dismissed Pakistan’s allegations and criticized its human rights record as “truly abysmal”. She warned Turkey, emphasizing that Jammu and Kashmir is an internal matter for India, and unsolicited comments should be avoided.
Singh highlighted three aspects she described as Pakistan being “soaked in red”, the bloodshed from terrorism it sponsors globally, its debt-ridden national balance sheets, and the shame felt by its people due to government failures.
