'No lessons from a terror sponsor': Indian diplomat rebukes Pakistan at UN Human Rights Council

Indian Diplomat Kshitij Tyagi delivered a sharp rebuttal to Pakistan, denouncing it as a "failed state addicted to propaganda and terror" at the 5th Meeting of the 60th Session of the UN Human Rights Council.

“Our measured and proportionate response to the Pahalgam attack made that sufficiently clear. We need no lessons from a terror sponsor, no sermons from a persecutor of minorities, and no advice from a state that has conjured its own credibility. India will continue to protect its citizens with unwavering resolve, defend its sovereignty without compromise, and expose—time and again—the elaborate deception of a failed state whose survival depends on trafficking in terror and tragedy," he said.

In a separate intervention during the same session, Tyagi said, “We are compelled once again to address provocations from a country whose own leadership recently likened it to a dump truck—perhaps an inadvertently apt metaphor for a state that continues to deposit recycled falsehoods and stale propaganda before this distinguished council.”

He also criticised Pakistan’s “systematic abuse” of the Human Rights Council and its continued manipulation of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) as a political mouthpiece. “Its pathological fixation on India appears to provide it with existential validation,” he said.
