In a strongly worded address at the seventh meeting of the 58th Session of the UN Human Rights Council on February 27, India reaffirmed its stance on Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, condemning Pakistan’s ongoing misinformation campaign. Kshitij Tyagi, representing the Permanent Mission of India to the UN in Geneva, emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir, along with Ladakh, will always remain an integral part of India, underscoring the progress made in these regions in recent years.
Tyagi took aim at Pakistan’s leadership, accusing them of perpetuating false narratives driven by a “military-terrorist complex.” He stated that Pakistan’s repeated efforts to malign India’s sovereignty over Jammu and Kashmir were unsurprising, given the state’s history of instability and reliance on international aid.
“The unprecedented political, social, and economic progress in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh over the past few years speaks for itself,” Tyagi said. “These successes are a testament to the trust the people have in the government’s commitment to bring normalcy to a region that has long been affected by Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.”
Further criticising Pakistan’s actions, Tyagi pointed out that the country’s continued use of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) as a mouthpiece was undermining the credibility of international organizations. He termed Pakistan a “failed state” that thrives on instability, surviving primarily on foreign aid while disregarding the welfare of its citizens.
“Pakistan must move past its unhealthy obsession with India and focus on addressing the pressing issues affecting its own people,” Tyagi added, emphasizing India’s commitment to democracy, progress, and the dignity of its citizens—values he suggested Pakistan could benefit from adopting.
These comments come in the wake of India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish’s remarks on February 19, where he too reaffirmed India’s stance on Jammu and Kashmir during a session at the United Nations Security Council. Harish condemned Pakistan’s continued misinformation efforts, reaffirming that Jammu and Kashmir is, and will always be, an integral part of India.
India’s consistent stand on this issue highlights its unwavering commitment to the sovereignty of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, despite repeated efforts by Pakistan to challenge India’s position on the international stage.
