GENEVA:
If there was such a thing as a diplomatic roast, what India served to Pakistan on Wednesday at the United Nations would come quite close to it. Following Pakistan's unrestrained shots at New Delhi over minorities and the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India used its right to reply at the UN Human Rights Council session in Geneva to serve a sharp rejoinder: not only has Pakistan become the "world's terrorism factory", it has also alienated its own people through the "continued mistreatment" of Hindus, Christians, Shias, Ahmadiyas and other minorities.
"In this Council, Pakistan has referred to situation of minorities in India. Minorities in India have been Prime Ministers, Presidents, Vice-Presidents, senior Cabinet Ministers, senior civil servants, cricket team captains, Bollywood superstars. Can the minorities of Pakistan claim even a shadow of this? All they have are blasphemy laws and relentless abuse and violation of their human rights," Indian Representative Nabanita Chakrabarti said
