UNHRC live: Pakistan gave a running commentary with offensive rhetoric on Kashmir, Article 370, says India

The Indian delegation is led by Ajay Bisaria, the India High Commissioner to Pakistan who was sent back after Pakistan unilaterally downgraded ties, and Vijay Thakur Singh, Secretary East.

India gave a befitting reply to Pakistan at the 42nd session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which is underway in Geneva. Earlier on Tuesday, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi relied on lies and falsehood to rake up the Jammu and Kashmir issue at UNHRC but India's Vijay Thakur Singh, Secretary East, demolished Pakistan's arguments when she got the chance to put New Delhi's stand before the UNHRC.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi represented his country at Geneva and has delivered his speech in which he has levelled fake allegations against the Indian government. Ever since India abrogated Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu-Kashmir, Pakistan has unsuccessfully tried to internationalise the issue. Notwithstanding the diabolic rhetoric from the neighbouring country, New Delhi has made it clear that the issue is "strictly internal" to India.
