India delivered a sharp response to Pakistan at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva. Representing New Delhi, diplomat Kshitij Tyagi accused Islamabad of targeting its own citizens in recent airstrikes while misusing the forum to level unfounded allegations against India.
Tyagi rejected Pakistan’s remarks as “provocative and baseless,” urging it to vacate illegally occupied Indian land instead of coveting more territory. He also criticised Pakistan’s crumbling economy, military-dominated politics, poor human rights record, and continued support for terrorism and proscribed militants.
The statement came soon after reports from Pakistan’s Tirah Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where an airstrike by the Pakistani Air Force allegedly killed at least 30 civilians, including women and children. Eyewitness accounts described burnt vehicles, destroyed homes, and bodies being recovered from the debris.
India reminded the UNHRC that its approach should remain objective and non-selective, warning against country-specific mandates that fuel perceptions of bias. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s own Human Rights Commission expressed alarm over the civilian casualties, calling for accountability.
