Pakistan is epicentre of terror: India

Addressing the 34th Session of the Human Rights Council (HRC), Ambassador Ajit Kumar hit out at Pakistan for destabilising the situation in Jammu and Kashmir by promoting infiltration and cross-border terrorism, inciting, promoting and glorifying violence. Asserting that terrorism is the ‘grossest violation of human rights’, he said members will recognise the irony of a nation that has established a well-earned reputation of being a ‘global epicentre of terrorism holding forth on human rights’. Kumar said that in the last two decades the most wanted terrorists of the world have found ‘succour and sustenance’ in Pakistan. “India would also like to point out that Pakistan’s unwarranted references to UNSC resolutions are grossly misleading as Pakistan was required to vacate the parts of the State of J&K under its illegal and forced occupation,” Kumar said.
