Geneva (Switzerland): First Secretary in the Permanent Mission of India at UNHRC, Kumam Mini Devi slammed Pakistan at the meeting after it failed to muster any support to table a resolution on Kashmir at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
She said, "Our decision in Jammu and Kashmir is within our sovereign right and is an internal matter of India. None of Pakistan's attempts to misrepresent our decision can hide its territorial ambitions."
She further said, "Let me turn to Pakistan occupied Kashmir and territories under Pak control, cases of enforced disappearances, custodial rapes, murders and torture of civil rights activists and journalists are common practices adopted to silence voices against the government and the deep state in Gilgit-Baltistan."
