India slams Pakistan for misusing UN platforms

India has slammed Islamabad for what it called habitually misuing the platform provided by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to “propagate its false and malicious propaganda” against New Delhi. India  exercised its “right to reply” at the 48th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva to also comment that the “Council (UNHRC) is aware of Pakistan's attempts to divert the Council's attention from serious human rights violations being propagated by its government, including in the territories occupied by it.” Taking at a dig at OIC, of which Pakistan is a part of, India said it has no locus standi to comment on internal affairs of New Delhi.

OIC has helplessly allowed itself to be held hostage by Pakistan, which holds Chairmanship of their Geneva Chapter, to subserve its own Agenda. It’s for members of OIC to decide if it's in their interest to allow Pakistan to do so, India said at Wednesday's session. India's reaction comes in response to UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet on Monday criticising India's use of stringent laws like the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act across the country as well as restrictions on public assembly and frequent communication blackouts in Jammu & Kashmir.
