Pakistan refused to accept bodies of its own soldiers killed in Kargil war: India at UN
- On Thursday, First Secretary Bhavika Mangalanandan criticized Pakistan for supporting terrorism and questioned its record on religious freedom, while rejecting a report by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants.
- Mangalanandan rejected Pakistan's remarks on the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, asserting that Islamabad should focus on areas under its legal occupation such as Rawalakot, where minority rights are regularly abused.
- Highlighting the irony of Pakistan's stance, the Indian army buried Pakistani soldiers killed in the 1999 Kargil War with military honours and in accordance with Islamic rights, Mangalanandan reminded Islamabad.
- Questioning the report's methodology, Mangalanandan stated it unfairly attributed COVID-19 pandemic failures only to the Global South, turning a 'blind eye to similar tragic situations' elsewhere.
- The First Secretary concluded that 'Legal limits should be determined in accordance with the principles of sovereign rights,' emphasizing that advocacy for terrorists does not extend to the victims of terrorism.
