Pakistan Slams India for Weaponizing Hate: A Bold Rebuttal at UN

Pakistan Strongly Responds to Indian Allegations, Says India Has Weaponized Hate

In a powerful address at the United Nations General Assembly, Pakistan firmly countered India’s accusations regarding minority rights, turning the spotlight on India’s own dismal record. Pakistan’s representative, Rabia Ijaz, called India’s criticism “a textbook case of the perpetrator posturing as a victim,” highlighting how India has weaponized hate and institutionalized discrimination under its current regime.

India’s Erosion of Human Rights Under BJP-RSS Rule

Speaking on the global platform, Ms. Ijaz did not hold back in describing the reality under the BJP-RSS government. She painted a grim picture of a country where religious minorities, including Muslims, Christians, and Dalits, face systemic persecution. Lynching incidents go unpunished, places of worship are demolished, and bulldozers are used to punish entire communities. Citizenship is now increasingly linked to religion, a dangerous precedent that echoes authoritarian ideologies. According to Pakistan, this is not mere neglect — it’s the normalization of hate, codified into law.

Jammu & Kashmir: A Disputed Territory, Not India’s Internal Matter

The Pakistani delegation rejected India’s persistent claim that Jammu & Kashmir is its internal matter. “Jammu and Kashmir never was nor is an integral part of India,” emphasized Rabia Ijaz. She reiterated that this region is internationally recognized as a disputed territory, and that the United Nations Security Council resolutions clearly call for a free and fair plebiscite to determine the future of the Kashmiri people. India’s refusal to honor this commitment, Pakistan argues, is a direct violation of international law and the UN Charter.

India’s Alleged Role in Terrorism and Cross-Border Attacks

The speech also accused India of direct aggression and covert warfare against Pakistan. Rabia Ijaz referred to a recent unprovoked attack that killed 35 civilians in Pakistan. Furthermore, she linked Indian intelligence to numerous terrorist incidents, from the Army Public School tragedy in 2014 to the recent school bus attack in Khuzdar. According to her, India supports banned terrorist outfits like the TTP and BLA to destabilize Pakistan — a covert war that she claims has long been overlooked by the international community.

The UN’s Responsibility to Protect (R2P) – Misused or Ignored?

Pakistan’s Deputy Permanent Representative, Ambassador Usman Jadoon, questioned the credibility of the R2P doctrine, stating it has become “meaningless” due to the global community’s failure to act in crises like those in Palestine and Kashmir. He argued that states such as India, who themselves are violators of basic human rights, should not be allowed to weaponize humanitarian principles for political gain.

Time for the World to Act

In her final remarks, Rabia Ijaz made a compelling case: “R2P cannot become a slogan for serial violators to hide behind. It cannot be invoked by those who deny rights at home and export chaos abroad.” She urged the global community to rethink its silence and take real steps to protect vulnerable populations — not just from non-state actors, but from state-led oppression.
