United Nations: India’s UN envoy Parvathaneni Harish criticized Pakistan over what he called “brutal repression of Ahmadiyyas" and the “large-scale refoulement of the helpless Afghans" during the Holy Month of Ramzan.
Harish said India’s “western neighbor" has “systematically attempted to weaponize" platforms against India and has “repeatedly made false and baseless allegations". He accused Pakistan of spreading false claims of Islamophobia and targeting India through the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
“India’s western neighbor is an excellent example of fabricating imaginative tales of Islamophobia in their neighborhood," he said. India’s envoy stressed the need for the United Nations to recognize the dangers of using religious identity for political purposes.
“I stress that it is important for the UN to take note of the rising trend and dangers of weaponizing religious identity and instrumentalising it to serve narrow political ends," he said.
He also questioned Pakistan’s record, referring to the treatment of Ahmadiyyas, the return of Afghan refugees and air-bombing campaigns during Ramzan.
