India slams UN HR Council report | | | The UN Human Rights Council has, in its report, alleged human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir and in Pakistan occupied Kashmir by the security forces. This is a travesty of truth and may be the UN Human Rights Council is right when it talks about the human rights violations in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. And had the UN Human Rights Council gone through the matter in detail its members would have simply blamed Pakistan and its agencies for exporting terror to Jammu and Kashmir which is the basic reason for some violations of human rights. Had the members of the UN Human Rights Council taken note of the fact that during encounters or during the burial ceremony of slain militants protesters clash with the security forces, hitting them with stones, which is retaliated either by teargas shells or by resorting to firing in which several protesters are either killed or injured. Is it human rights violation? Certainly not and the Army Chief, Gen. Bipin Rawat has berated the UN report. Army Chief Gen. Bipin Rawat has slammed the UN report on alleged human rights violations in Kashmir, dubbing it as "motivated". The human rights record of the Indian Army, he said, was well known to the people of Kashmir and to the international community. "I don't need to speak about the human rights record of the Indian Army. It is well known to all of you, it is well known to the people of Kashmir, and to the international community. I don't think we should get too concerned about the report, some of these reports are motivated," Rawat has stated the human rights record of the Indian Army is absolutely above board, he said. In a report released earlier this month, the United Nations Human Rights Council talked about alleged human rights violations in both Jammu Kashmir and Pakistan administered Kashmir and sought an international inquiry into these abuses. India vehemently rejected the report as "fallacious, tendentious and motivated". The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had said that the report was "overtly prejudiced" and seeks to build a "false narrative". Were there any human rights violations prior to the export of terror from Pakistan in 1989-90? Never and the UN Human Rights Council simply dwelt on the situation in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir where Pakistani troops indulged in human rights violations. If the UN Human Rights Council talks about human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir its members should have found the reasons for any small violation of human rights. And to be precise Pakistan, no other country, has been responsible for any or every human rights violations and if the UN Human Rights Council has to pass strictures it should hold Pakistan responsible for whatever situation does exist in Jammu and Kashmir. |
