On March 3, Friday India’s representative Seema Pujani slammed Pakistan Counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar on the issue of supporting terrorism, and no religious freedom of minorities can freely live in Pakistan at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).
Indian Representative Seema Pujari said”, No religious minority can freely live or practice its religion in Pakistan today. The Ahmadiya community continues to be persecuted by the state for simply practising their faith.” By add on the statement she said” Pakistan’s representative has once again chosen to misuse this august forum for its malicious propaganda against India.”
In the last decade, Pakistan’s own commission of inquiry on enforced disappearances has received 8,463 complaints. The Baloch people have borne the brunt of this cruel policy. Students, doctors, engineers, teachers, and community leaders are regularly disappeared by the state, never to return,” said Ms. Pujani, she also raised concern about the mistreated of Christians in the country and said” Equally worse is the treatment of the Christian community. It is frequently targeted through draconian blasphemy laws. State institutions officially reserve sanitation jobs for Christians,” said Ms. Pujani.
Ms. Pujani also spoken about the conversion of underage minority girls in the country. Ms. Pujani said,” Underage girls from the community are converted to Islam abetted by a predatory state and an apathetic judiciary. Hindu and Sikh communities face similar issues of frequent attacks on their places of worship and forced conversion of their underage girls. The state’s crackdown on those who wish to raise their voice against any of these heinous policies is also incomparable. A bill which proposes a five-year jail term for anyone who scandalises or ridicules the military or the judiciary is currently on the table in Pakistan’s parliament.”
She also talks about the Pakistan give sheltered to Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar. She also added, “When it is not entirely focused on suppressing its own population, Pakistan actively lends its energies to aid, host and abet international terrorists. It has the unique distinction of hosting the greatest number of UNSC-designated terrorists and terror organisations. Allow me to recall that Osama bin Laden lived next to Pakistan’s premier military academy. Its security agencies have nurtured and sheltered Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azar for decades. These are but a few dreaded names from the annals of Pakistan’s history of supporting terrorism. Pakistan’s policies are directly responsible for the death of thousands of civilians around the world. Pakistan’s obsession with India while its population battle for their lives, livelihood and freedom is an indicator.”
