India has criticized Pakistan for making accusations against others while ignoring the persecution of minorities within its own borders. Luther M Rangerji, an Additional Secretary in the External Affairs Ministry, highlighted Pakistan’s history of crimes against humanity and its sheltering of perpetrators. He pointed out the forced abduction, conversion, and marriage of women from minority communities in Pakistan, with impunity for the wrongdoers.
At a UN meeting, Pakistan raised the Kashmir issue and accused India, prompting responses from both sides. Rangerji condemned Pakistan’s allegations as politically motivated and aimed at diverting attention from its own human rights violations and support for terrorism. He emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, urging Pakistan to focus on addressing its internal issues and international obligations.
The preparatory committee meeting was in preparation for the UN Conference on Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Humanity in 2028. Rangerji reiterated India’s stance on Kashmir and internal affairs, urging Pakistan to prioritize human rights, counter terrorism, and uphold international law.
